Its our 35th wedding anniversary today, coral. I know how much Tony wanted to make these milestones.

I bought a card and wrote about some happier memories. I got out our wedding photos and just sobbed. Its weird I know, but we never had a wedding photo on display in this house, suppose we never felt the need and we had a small wedding with no official photos so they are not great quality. Now I feel I need one. I also bought a small ceramic heart with our names on and Im gping to get a coral rose for the garden. Our silver anniversary one didnt survive. 

My lovely neighbour is taking me for lunch which is nice and Ive been gardening, tying in my raspberries which are well in flower now. 

Ive had one message saying Im thinking about you, I think everyone else just forgets or doesnt realise how significant these days are. That made me cry too that someone remembered.

Anyway, just wanted to share that with my macmillan buddies. X

  • Malengwa,

     I hope you are ok, these days can be hard. I watched are wedding video (not a professional one). Then the following day I went out for a meal on my own, it was Sue's birthday. I hope you manage the day ok.

    Thinking about you.  Take care.

    Thankyou. We didnt have a video( prob too long ago!). Couldnt quite do the meal alone but have done sometimes. We always lunched out on Thursdays so whilst I went to choir, Tony shopped and then we had lunch. I do still lunch after choir most weeks.

  • Our 15th anniversary was at the end of March and it felt better to mark it.  It was crystal so I got a whisky glass engraved and put it next to Nick's photo with a tealight.  I know what you mean about few people remembering.  My family did but Nick's said nothing.  Having someone remember is a lovely feeling but very emotional.  I hope you're doing OK. Sending love

  • Hi Malengwa,

    Hope your day went ok and you had lovely memories to think of.  Mine and Jay's wedding anniversary is on the 21st June two days before he passed (the irony). I haven't really marked it in any way the last two years I don't think it will happen this year either but I have all my memories to hang on to at least. Nice of your neighbour to take you to lunch. Take Care.
