Tuesday 31st October 

Grey and misty 
With cool, dank air 
Evenings draw in 
Going nowhere 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Monday 30th October 

The first time ever 
Despite being careful 
Rest, water, and painkillers 
Keeps from being fearful 
Bedbound for a while 
Hoping for a brighter day 
Covid, please do one 
And go far away 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 29th October 

If I close my eyes 
Will the monsters retreat? 
If I turn away 
Will they take a back seat? 

Love you so much

Saturday 28th October 

"Why can't I?" you ask 
With a hopeful plea 
You try and you try 
But the answers aren't free 
You know, deep inside 
You've got strength to find 
So chase your dreams 
Leave your doubts behind 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 27th October 

To Exeter 
Oncology 
End of the trial 
Ten years for me 
Uneasy feelings 
Weigh heavily 
Safety blanket 
Is gone you see 
Melanoma 
Uncertainty 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Thursday 26th October 

The winds of change blow 
The seasons transform 
Within us, the strength 
To weather the storm 
Live the life now 
With purpose and grace 
Every step forward 
A new breath to embrace 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 25

Back in a routine 
Much to wash and clean 
This life has its rhythm 
And I've made my decision 
To be able to travel 
Watch adventures unravel 

Love you so much

Beloved Mum

Tuesday 24th October 

A very early flight 
Taking off, dark as night 
Soon sunrise, golden light 
Beautiful morning sight

To Faro 
Flying home 
Tomorrow

Sunday 22nd October 

Rainy days and Sundays 
Sitting in dry cafés 

Watching the wind and rain 
With a look of disdain 

Hot coffee and toasties 
So good for times like these 

We bought an umbrella 
Protects from the weather 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum
