Missing you more 

Than anyone knows

Life is on hold

The emptiness grows

Pain is still raw

As time just slows

The mind wanders

In dark shadows

As a tear falls

Sorrow and woes

Darling Angel son

My love overflows.

Friday 21st October
  

A new flower blossomed this morning

Deep, golden red petals facing the sun

It’s delicate beauty brings a smile 

As I think of you, my darling one.

  

For whom does the flower unfold?

Displaying all it’s intricate colouring 

Yet briefly, only for a finite time 

To me, it’s elegance is everything.

  

Growing into something so beautiful

Unfurling slowly for it’s own joy

Bringing colour into the autumn day

Standing proud, just for you, my boy.

  

Love you my sweetheart.

Treasured Angel son.

Thursday 20th October
  

Today I have been rendered absolutely speechless, lost for words, taken aback, by the unbelievable kindness of a friend of mine.

Having met a couple days ago in our local coffee shop, where she admired an agate necklace I was wearing, we chatted about her hobby of beading; she said she loved to make her own jewellery, including more intricate designs of beadwork

Today we met again, and as I approached the table in the coffee shop, I saw that she had laid out numerous beautiful necklaces. Made of semi-precious stones, they looked exquisite: agate, opal, turquoise, quartz, amethyst, tourmaline…….a veritable treasure trove.

I was under the impression that I was going to admire them, pick one out for myself, and pay half her ticket price. (The tickets detailed the stones used and the cost a shop or gallery would be expected to pay, followed by their mark-up).

So then the surprise came. She said: “They’re all yours. Take them. Sell them to friends. These are for Frank’s Fund.”

There must be over twenty beautiful, chunky, sparkly, tactile, wonderful necklaces, and words just can’t express my gratitude for what she has done for us.

Such an awesome, random act of phenomenal kindness.

Raising money in your memory ~ Frank’s Fund. Extraordinarily touching.

Love you my sweetheart.

Precious Angel son.

Wednesday 19th October

  

Hope all things are happy in heaven

Where there are no worries or pain

Hope you’re smiling with the angels

Playing in the sunshine, not the rain.

  

I think of you and the joyful times

As those are my lasting memories

I try to focus on all that is good

In this life, there are no guarantees.

  

Today grief is my closest friend

A testimony of my love for you

It stands beside me quite silently

Gently holding my hand in all I do.

  

Missing you my Angel son

Love you with all my heart

Now you’ll be forever young

And we’ll never be apart.

Tuesday 18th October
  

Missing your sweet little face

You’ve left a big empty space

Smiles and laughter, no trace

Your cheekiness we can’t replace

But I know I’ll see you someplace

Can’t wait for a gentle embrace.

  

Fly high Starman

Amongst the stars you chase

Forever in our hearts

Gone to rest in a higher place.

Monday 17th October

Walking along the harbour front

Thinking of you as I always do

The tide coming in over the sand

And a beautiful sky of azure blue.

  

Thoughts of you come to mind

How you would walk up and down

Along the pavement, across the wharf

Browsing the book shops in the town.

  

A simple and innocent way of life

No worries at all, completely carefree

Enjoying the fresh air, being outdoors

Shoes in the sand, watching the sea.

  

So, walking along thinking of you

Many memories come tumbling fast

Turning around, I think you’re there

Just like always, in those times past.

  

Missing our walks together

My darling Angel son

Loving you forever

Sweetheart, precious one.

Sunday 16th October
   

That same person, I’ll never, ever be

On the outside, I might look like me

Coping, really quite strong, I agree

But beneath the mask, a harsh reality

You’re gone, and I’ve been left lonely

A massive void, future on hold, you see

Nothing but a broken pile of debris

Everything changed, your spirit set free

In the blink of an eye, just a memory…..

Things will never be the same

It will never be the same

Life will never be the same

I will never be the same.

That same person, I’ll never, ever be….

  

Love you forever.

Darling Angel son.

Saturday 15th October
  

You’re my sweetheart, shining star

Flying high, flying free, flying far.

  

Sparkling brightly in the night sky

Beyond the clouds, up there so high.

  

Full moon glowing across the deep sea

Silver pathway bringing you back to me.

  

Even when you’re hidden from sight

In my dreams, you appear at night.

  

Seen, or unseen, I know you’re there

Your loving presence is everywhere.

   

And so my precious, shining star

I know in my heart is where you are.

 

Fly high Starman Angel son.

Thursday 13th October
  

Your beautiful soul 

Never forgotten.

Your spirit free at last

Flying high.

 

Promise to be

My sweetheart Angel.

I promise I’ll be there

Forever and always.

  

I will grieve

I will always remember

I will keep you in my heart

I will never stop loving you.
