It’s the 3rd anniversary of Derek’s passing today & coming up our fourth Christmas. Just been down to the church, met Derek’s sister, our daughter & grandson who he sadly never got to see.
Derek’s favourite band was Pink Floyd & our daughter had bought our grandson who is 4 months old a Pink Floyd jumper especially for today. That just made my heart sing & it didn’t bring tears it made me smile. I had my tears privately this morning & although time doesn’t make it easier it does do one thing, it helps you carry the hurt better. I also wrote this poem when I woke at silly o’clock like I do most days .…
Oh how I miss you
every moment … every day
But then you send me signs
you haven’t gone away.
The rainbow that appears
after the downpour of rain
Shows me that you’re here with me
taking away my pain.
The sunshine that glimmers
through the darkness above
Shows me that you’re here with me
shining down your love.
The twinkling of the stars
and one that shines so bright
Shows me that you’re here with me
comforting me in the night.
Oh how I miss you
every moment … every day
But I see you my love in everything
you haven’t gone away.
Love you always
My Derek, My One
