'twas a Friday

My dearest Son I want you to know How much you are loved We are missing you so The first Father’s Day Since the day that you died Oh so many tears we have cried ~~~ Your son and your daughter A father they miss On this Father’s day morn As reality doth dawn For them my heart breaks As when they awake Their father's not here he has gone ~~~ On the day you were taken too early ~ too soon ‘twas a Friday on a sunny and a bright afternoon ~~~~ Written 21st June 2020 on Father’s Day in the UK

A beautiful tribute Ann, it was a terrible shock for you, but I know he would not want you to be sad. Tom.

I know you are right Tom, but my pain is still so raw and has been even more recently. I talk to him and about him every day and can smile as well as cry. I know over time the pain will lesson, as it did with my husband, but I don't think I will ever get over losing my son. Thank you Tom for your kindly words. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
