Talking of history...

It's my Mum and Dad's wedding anniversary today (now that's what you call a moustie!). They've been married 33 years and they're still going strong! They've both given my brother and I a crackin' example to follow when it comes to marriage. So in appreciation and tribute (probably the kind of things you don't get round to saying/sharing until a funeral! Why are we so bad at telling each other how we feel?!) I want to say thanks for a few things...

THANKS for taking us camping and hiking on the hills. THANKS for all your support and encouragement. THANKS for those wooly jumpers Mum and for that essay on 'Man's Best Friend' Dad. THANKS for taking risks and creating opportunities, for all the places we've lived and people we've met. THANKS for all the time and effort spent supporting Carrick Youth Band! For the 'farm years' and for that go-kart! THANKS for the suits you bought and the 'lessons' taught. THANKS for not pushing the 'church-thing' and for buying that first uniform at such short notice! THANKS for allowing me to go to univesrity and allowing me to come home again. THANKS for the driving lessons, the use of the car, and the 'loan' of the golf clubs! THANKS for the macaroni cheese, home-made soup and the raisin rhapsody! THANKS for the 'voice', health and height! THANKS for teaching me right from wrong, repsect for others and who God is. THANKS for Joshua'a curtains, fitting the carpet, the stair-gate and for babysitting. THANKS for sticking it out and staying together.

THANK YOU.
