Mr and I, will have been married 10 years this Thursday. This is filled with happiness and sadness. The last 10 years have been eventful to say the least but I would not change any of it. It has all made us who we are today and for that I am grateful.
The sadness comes from looking at pictures from the wedding and realising who is not still with us. There are 3 people we have lost since our wedding. My Nan - she was quite ill in the end and passed away in August 2007. I really miss her but I also know if she were to think we were being sad about her passing, she would probably 'tut' and roll her eyes! So I will try not to shed a tear when I leave her flowers on her birthday which happens to be the same date as our wedding anniversary. Another was a man called Jim who was a close friend of my parents. His passing was tragic in the sense that it was totally out of the blue. He was not ill but collapsed and died. That is something that must have been so hard for his wife and children.
Finally and probably the most painful was a friend of ours called Phil. His passing was not 'normal' in the sense that it was not something he had any control of. He was knocked from his motorbike in June 2007. It wasn't his fault and no-one has ever really been held accountable as the driver drove off. That is what makes it worse, no closure. His family were left with a hole where he should be.
The happiness comes from the fact that over the last 10 years we have raised 2 children and moved up within careers - even if mine is a little stagnated at the moment. We have some good friends and wonderful family. I want to live our next 10 years to the fullest. Memories are what makes your life your own, so create them with loved ones for all to cherish.
Happy Anniversary Mr!!!!
