We went out for a lovely meal on Saturday with the people who matter the most. Tomorrow my mum and dad and Andrew's mum will come over for dinner. The rest of the week will be spent together, walking, talking, hopefully laughing, cause that's what we like to do.
Just wanted to say, we are both Aquarians, I'm not sure if Mystic Meg would agree but from 25 years of experience, it's a disastrous mix on many, many levels. Simultaneously we have the craziest idea's, we follow them with every ounce of commitment it's possible to have, we believe, we back and nine times out of ten we fall flat on our faces! and then we dust ourselves down, wipe away the tears, find the funny side, get up, get on and eventually we come up with another equally daft idea which will, ultimately fail but we never see it coming. We have lived this way all our married life, financially it's made us hopelessly poor but no-one can ever tell us we didn't try. I didn't marry for money and neither did Andrew, no consideration was given to our bank balances or our prospects 25 years ago we just loved each other. Twenty-five years on our prospects have never been more precarious but there is still love. Andrew may not be some high flying business type but I know, without ever having to question, that he would walk through fire for me and our kids and that's worth more than any fancy wardrobe or posh car.
So, on the eve of our Special Anniversary I just have to say Thank you to my soul mate, my protector, my voice, my love and my friend.
I heard this song just before we got married, Andrew made a special trip to Oxford Street to get the 'LP' - no Amazon then!. We asked for it to be played as our first dance. Unfortunately the DJ put the wrong track on so we were trying to be romantic to some boppy little number (writing was on the wall!)
