One day at a time

Standard

Thursday 18th October

.

One day at a time

One step at a time

One breath at a time

.

Upside down

Inside out

Back to front

.

Falling apart

Spinning around

Spiralling under

.

Realisation

Perseverance

Existence

.

No choice

No alternative

No option

.

Small steps

Keeping on

Go forward

.

With love

With memories

With thankfulness

.

My boy

My son

My Angel

Porthmeor Beach looking East

Straight ahead

And towards the West

Harbour sunshine

A few sunbathing on the beach

Melt my heart

Standard

Wednesday 17th October

.

Tears of love

Tears of joy

Tears of mine

For my little boy

.

A heavy sigh

A teardrop falls

But happy times

Memory recalls

.

Sweet Angel son

Though we’re apart

A smile from you

Would melt my heart

A good swell at Porthmeor Beach

Half term has begun for some parts of the country

Outgoing tide in the harbour

In the dark

Standard

Tuesday 16th October

.

There in the dark

The deepest, blackest night

The overpowering nothingness

Is where your star shines bright

.

Over here in the dark

In shadowy underworld of despair

The intense emptiness

Is where you’re walking on air

.

Right now, in the dark

With this excruciating pain

Crushing down all around

There’s hope I’ll see you again

.

My precious boy

Darling Angel son

Always wonder

Standard

Monday 15th October

.

I will always wonder

How you would’ve grown old

Now lives ripped asunder

No more stories to be told

.

The young man you’d become

Still had plans to fulfil

Fun and games in the sun

Happy families still

.

So where did it all go wrong?

Cancer is an evil monster

Now to heaven you’ve gone

The disease you didn’t conquer

.

Thinking of you

Missing you

Loving you

Forever and always

Treasured Angel son

Dad’s birthday

Standard

Sunday 14th October

.

Dad’s birthday

Long chat with your brother

All is good in Spain

Video call, waving to each other

.

We went for a walk

Across the cliffs at Gwithian

The sun had come out

Feeling the warmth on your skin

.

Really wish you were here

To wish dad Happy Birthday

We miss you immensely

So much more than words can say

.

Love you poppet

Darling Angel son

Looking down on St. Ives

Big clouds over Hayle estuary

Godrevy Lighthouse

Looking across the bay to St. Ives

Gwithian sands

I am

Standard

Saturday 13th October

.

I am

But I am not

I breathe

Yet I am suffocating

I see

But I’m blinded

I walk

Yet I’m paralysed

I dream

But they’re nightmares

I keep going

Yet I retreat

I smile

But I wear a mask

I am

Yet I am not

.

Love you forever

Forget you never

Always together

Forever and ever

Sweetheart Angel son

A grey drive along the harbour this afternoon

Last forever

Standard

Thursday 11th October

.

My love for you will last forever

Yet the heartache will never end

But you’ll always be with me

As many kisses to heaven I send

.

Love you poppet

Darling Angel son

Porthmeor Beach after very heavy rain

Skies clearing over the harbour

A beautiful tortoiseshell butterfly catching some warmth from the sun

Looking up

Standard

Wednesday 10th October

.

Always looking up to the sky

Trying to see your face in the clouds

Or searching for you in the stars

As the sun sets, and the night enshrouds

.

My heavenly Angel son

My precious starman soaring so high

I hope you’re smiling and happy

As I look up again and sigh

.

Love you sweetie

Missing you

Beloved Angel son

Lovely and warm in the harbour this afternoon

Enjoying the sunshine

Almost a heart-shaped, blue break in the clouds at 6:00pm tonight

A small prism of a rainbow to the left of the Island

Catching the last rays of the sun at high tide

High tide waves breaking onto Wharf Road

Pretty pink clouds above the pier

A quiet sadness

Standard

Tuesday 9th October

.

A quiet sadness

A sad quietness

.

A life of memories

A memory of life

.

A painful sorrow

A sorrowful pain

.

A tearful moment

A moment full of tears

.

Forever in my heart

In my heart forever

My darling Angel son
