Sunday 17th November
.
Today I saw you in the breeze
A gentle wind rustling through trees
Shaking free the golden leaves
.
I touched you in the falling rain
Sparkling droplets as in champagne
All your memories to maintain
.
I heard you in the pounding swell
In my heart is where you dwell
Wishing you hadn’t said farewell
.
Love you to the moon and back
Treasured Angel son

Heavy showers over the sea this morning
Porthmeor beneath dark clouds this afternoon
Wide open space
Steely grey skies
Saturday 16th November
.
Wherever you have walked
Wherever you have been
You left a sprinkling of memories
Which will remain evergreen
.
Thinking of you with love
My Angel in heaven above
Sweet darling son
Forever young

Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Low tide in the harbour
A few visitors on the sand
Reflections
The Wharf
Friday 15th November
.
You’re with me still
Always close by
Even though I know
In heaven you fly
.
Remembering you
Thinking of you
Missing you
Loving you

An empty Porthmeor Beach at low tide
Fast moving clouds overhead
Heavy showers rolling in
A gloomy harbour
Looking across to Porthminster Beach
Thursday 14th November

More hospital visits
My twice yearly check-up
Dermatology, oncology
Blood pressure could ease up
.
But currently
“N E D”
So very happy
All’s good, you see
.
“No
Evidence
Of
Disease”
.
Scans and biopsies
Show all’s well
See you in a year
Fears to dispel
.
Six years post surgery
Life takes on a different persona
Melanoia and scanxiety
With metastatic melanoma
.
Thinking of you always
My darling Angel son

Snow on the sides of the road in Oakhampton
Golden, autumnal colours in Exeter
Wednesday 13th November
.
I hold your memory
Safely in your book of life
I can flick through the pages
Even though it cuts like a knife
.
Chapter upon chapter
Adventures and escapades
So much fun and laughter
All those Disney parades
.
It’s all there, documented
Your growth and development
I can visit the library
Then I’m in my element
.
I keep the book so close to me
It’s worth, completely priceless
Yes, it makes me sad sometimes
But our precious love is like this
.

Tuesday 12th November
.
You have become
The undercurrent
Of daily life
.
Always there
Flowing along
By my side
.
Some days smooth
At other times
White water rapids
.
But we’re together
Holding on for
The same destination
.
Thinking of you
My darling Angel son

Love is everlasting
Your memories keep me strong
And someday, somewhere
Together we’ll belong

Now forever young

We’re left behind
Remembering
Stories and adventures

Growing up and maturing

With smiles and laughter
Remembering
All that you achieved

We are the rememberers
Love you to the moon and back

A windswept Porthmeor Beach
There was one lone surfer out there
Choppy and cold
The war memorial today
Saturday 9th November

Cherishing the memories
Holding on to the love
Looking for the brightest star
Shining in the heavens above

My precious Angel son

Last night’s moon in a marbled cloudy sky
The moon over Barnoon Chapel
Harbour lights reflecting on the sand
Looking along the Wharf
The Wharf

We shared our tears
And many smiles
Fun and laughter
Across many miles

Now shared in dreams
Adventures past
A life well lived
Love holds steadfast

Remembering you with love
My Angel in heaven above
