Eight long years

Standard
Sunday 12th March

Dearest son Frank
Our hearts still ache
Eight long years
Since you saw day break
A life cut short
A tragedy profound
Gone but not forgotten
You'll always be around

We miss your smile
Your gentle voice
The memories we shared
The love we rejoice
Your absence weighs heavy
A constant pain
A wound that never heals
Forever does remain

But in our hearts
Your spirit lives on
A light that shines
Long after you've gone
A reminder of the love
We once knew
A bond that unites us
Forever with you

So though you're not here
You're not truly lost
For in our memories
You're the ultimate cost
We hold you close
In our hearts and mind
Dearest son Frank
Gone but not left behind

No matter how long
As memories replay
It will always feel
Like yesterday

Love you so much
Darling Angel son
A friendly, chirruping robin
Wet, moss-covered tree trunks
Swan on the pond
Walking around Tehidy Woods in the rain
So many twisting, gnarly branches

Always here

Standard
Saturday 11th March 

Remembering your laughter
Your smile, your curious mind
Cherishing every second
Spent together, intertwined

Missing you every day
Heart aches to hold you near
Finding solace in the thought
That your spirit is always here

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy, grey, dank, damp and dreary….. Roll on warmer days 😊

So many things

Standard
Friday 10th March 

So many things
I wanted to say
So much I wanted
To tell you each day
But now you've gone
Missed forever
Loved always
And forgotten never
Your absence leaves
An empty space
Memories of you
Never replaced
Your light continues
Shining bright
Guiding me through
Each dark night

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Thoughts

Standard
Thursday 9th March 

When thoughts race and spin
And panic starts to win
I'll remember to breathe deep
Reframe those thoughts that creep

I won't let them bring me down
Find a way to turn around
Focus on the positive
Let go of what's negative

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Cloudy and grey, but a little warmer

Grief might be unseen

Standard
Wednesday 8th March 

Grief might be unseen
But it's always there
A constant reminder
That life's not fair
It's the hole in your heart
That won't go away
The absence of someone
You miss everyday

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Finding solace

Standard
Monday 6th March 

Finding solace
In that quiet moment
Letting my mind wander
And be content
The world can wait
I'll just be still
Letting go of the rush
Letting go of the thrill

Love you so much

St Ives this morning

Looking towards Hayle Towans

I know

Standard
Sunday 5th March 

I know you wouldn't
Want me to stay
Stuck in the darkness
Day after day
So I'll promise to keep
Your memory alive
Finding a way
To thrive, to survive

Love you so much

Breathe

Standard
Saturday 4th March 

Breathe in, breathe out
Find my centre
Let go of anxious thoughts
Surrender

The world around me
May seem loud
But in the stillness
Peace is found

Close my eyes
Take a deep breath
Lose the tension
Not out of my depth

With each exhale
Release my worries
Embrace the present
Forget my hurries

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Hope is a spark

Standard
Friday 3rd March 

Hope is a spark
That ignites the flame
A light that burns
Within the same
Keeping us moving
Keeping us strong
Helping us find
Where we belong

Love you so much
Precious sons

All still in the harbour
