Friday 2nd December 

Slowly recharging 
I'm taking my time 
It's not that easy 
Quite an uphill climb 
Ticking off "To do's" 
As the clock does chime 

Love you 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 1st December 

Searching for solace 
Maybe easing pain 
Won't happen quickly 
Quite hard to attain 
A loss so profound 
Broken family chain 
Reshaping our lives 
Memories sustain 

Love you so much
Miss you forever 
xxxxx 

Wednesday 30th November 

All calm by the river 
A few swans a-swimming 
As the sun goes down 
Golden light is dimming 

Darling sons 
Precious mum 
Love you lots 
xxxxx 

Tuesday 29th November 

One final goodbye 
A kiss on the cheek 
So very serene 
No more words to speak 

Love you Mum 
Miss you forever 
xxxxx 

Monday 28th November 

It's all so raw 
And makes me sad 

A life well-lived 
Of that I'm glad 

We love you so much 
And will miss you forever 
xxxxx 

Sunday 27th November 

My dearest mum 
Is now at peace 
And flying free 
All pain will cease 

We love you so much 
And will miss you forever 
xxxxx 

Saturday 26th November 

A long day 
Lots to do 
Sorting things 
Going through 
All mum's stuff 
Sad and blue 
Miss you much
Love so true 
Just not fair 
I love you 

Precious sons 
Beloved mum
Love you 
xxxxx 

Friday 25th November 

Phone call earlier 
From oncologist 
Must try to remain 
An optimist 

Results relayed 
CT scan clear 
No more worries 
For another year 

A few little blobs 
A small gallstone 
A couple of masses 
But they haven't grown 

Stage 2 kidney disease  
Is that a worry? 
No, not really 
Breathe, don't hurry 

So all is well 
With me, at least 
Heavy weight removed 
No sign of the beast 

Love you 
Precious sons
Beloved mum

Tuesday 24th November 

With dignity and grace 
Calm spread over her face 

Taking that final breath 
Slipped into a peaceful death 

Dementia is a bitch 
An evil little witch 

To pneumonia she succumbed 
Leaving us totally numbed 

Love my Mum so dearly 
Truly and sincerely 

Until we're together 
We'll be with you wherever 
Love you mum forever 
Memories to treasure 

xxxxx 

Wednesday 23rd November 

Watching and waiting 
The inevitable 
Slipping slowly away 
Truly terrible 
My wonderful Mum 
Incomparable 

Love you 
xxxxx
