Monday 10th April 

Green blades grass 
Spring flowers in bloom 
Bring back memories 
Like a sweet perfume 
Of the times we spent 
In nature's embrace 
Finding peace and love 
In our family place 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 9th April 

A Sunday drive through narrow lanes 
Recalling times spent with you 
Memories of laughter and love remains 
As we soak in the scenic view 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 8th April 

The permanence of child loss 
A wound that never truly heals 
A constant ache, a heavy cost 
That every parent feels 

Memories of what could have been 
Haunt us every single day 
Dreams we had, now left unseen 
As we try to find our way 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum 
xxxxx 

Friday 7th April 

Sunshine 
Making the birds sing 
Reminds me 
Of the joy you'd bring 
A smile so bright 
And your heart so pure 
Endless love 
Of that I'm sure 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 6th April 

I think of all the mysteries  
That the night sky holds 
Of all the secrets waiting 
As the future unfolds 
And slowly my worries 
They begin to fade away 
As I'm filled with wonder  
At the beauty of the day 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Wednesday 5th April 

A life lost 
Is a song cut short 
A melody 
Left hanging in the air 

A dance 
With no final step 
A rhythm disrupted 
With a soul laid bare 

A fairytale 
Without an ending 
Trip of a lifetime 
On a train to nowhere 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum 
xxxxx 

Tuesday 4th April 

The sea's breaking waves 
A mighty roar 
Remind me of the times 
We spent on the shore 
Laughing and playing 
So carefree 
Those moments with you 
Mean the world to me 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum 
xxxxx 

Monday 3rd April 

So many memories 
Held so dear 
Reminds me of the love 
That's always near 
And though you're gone 
You're still a part 
Of my life and soul 
Forever in my heart 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum 
xxxxx 

Sunday 2nd April 

Grief's journey changes 
As it often will 
Let it ebb and flow 
And have its fill 
For in the end 
It's a sign we cared 
That love, even in loss 
Can never be impaired 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 1st April

The first of April 
Time for awareness 
Lumps, bumps and swellings 
Do not feel helpless 

Testicular cancer 
Need to check your balls 
Don’t be embarrassed 
Heed the doctor’s calls 

Teens to the thirties 
Are mostly affected 
Do yourself a favour 
Shouldn’t be neglected 

Don’t leave it too late 
For it can be cured 
If it’s caught early 
You can rest assured 

A taboo subject 
Whispered quietly 
Can’t happen to me 
Can fill with anxiety 

Grab life by the goolies 
But if there’s a pain 
Have your tackle checked out 
Your health to maintain 

Love you sweetheart 
Treasured Angel son 
Now forever young 
xxxxx
