Good morning to everyone
Today is my 24th wedding anniversary (and also would have been my own mum and dad's if he was still with us...not sure how many years it would have been though mum...?) and whilst taking the dog out on a walk around the river meadow at the country park I think back to this day 24 years ago and what a lovely day it was - it really was one of the happiest days of my life.
I hope that you will forgive me for a little sentimentalism...but looking back at the photographs (apart from considering how terribly dated they look - Dave wore a shiny silver suit with a pink leather tie and had a moustache!)I think about how many people we have loved and lost since then...and how we still miss many of them so much.
Often the pain of that loss can hit you unexpectedly...a line from a song or a present you were given...but what we hopefully learn through time is to acknowledge and accept that the pain is part of the fact that we still love them and also to be thankful for that person and for each day that they walked alongside us on our journey. Today I want to give a big Florence hug to all those who love us and are walking with us at the moment and to say thankyou for being part of our journey and that we are honoured to be even a small part of yours...
Will hopefully update you all later...have a lovely Monday xx

Happy Anniversary. You are among the few to make it to this date. I hope that Dave is home later to celebrate it with you, and I know you will celebrate. We are praying for your appointment with Dr Bulusi and wait to hear your news later.
Our love to you both
Happy anniversary Flo and Dave, 24 years is a long time to love someone through all the ups and downs of life and these days only a few couples make it, still holding each other close in the knowledge that they love each other completely and utterly - you are one of the few and may that give you strength, happiness, contentment and courage to deal with whatever lies ahead - LOVE is a gift, a gift that has no price tag on it. It makes me so happy to know you love each other so much and I am smiling thinking about the very brief times Don and I shared the warmth and glow of your family love. Jackie & Don x x
Happy anniversary to you both, i was looking through some photos we have the other day and came across a couple of your wedding, i remember mum stressing because i had broken my collar bone and she could not find a sling to match my dress,i would have only been 7 then. Hope david is feeling more comfortable
Love to you both and the family
