Subject: BS: Happy anniversary to my darling husband From: jacqui.c Date: 14 Oct 08 - 09:58 AM Four years today! I know that isn't a lot compared to the marathons others have achieved but that four years has been pretty busy! We've both had fairly major surgery during that period and various health scares. For me there was the major adjustment of a complete change of lifestyle - from full time work to retired, moving to a new continent, regular air travel to see my family and friends. Then there was learning to live with a crusty old curmudgeon who has the ability to irritate the hell out of me one minute and then just to make me want to cuddle up close to him the next. Kendall has had to learn to live with my clutter and to my being bright and a bit noisy first thing in the morning, plus the fact that, as he says, I've stolen his dog. In that time Kendall has opened the door for me to make new friends who have made my life so much richer than it ever was. He has also encouraged my singing and given me space to develop without trying to push me down a particular road. These four years have been a mixture of laughter and anxiety, not so much tears, more a concern for each others wellbeing during difficult times. It hardly seems a day or so ago that Sandy Paton sat at breakfast and asked us when, that day, we wanted to get married. It does seem to me, though as if Kendall and I have been together for a lot longer than four years. Happy anniversary to my Sweetie - every day we have is something special to me and I am hoping for many more days to come. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy anniversary to my darling husband From: Big Mick Date: 14 Oct 08 - 10:34 AM The song I wrote for them on the occasion of their wedding. It is set to the tune of "Red is the Rose". His English Rose Come over the sea, darling Jacqui come to me, Come over the sea to your lover You are my rose, love, and we will take our vows, And we'll share our true love forever CHORUS: She is the English rose in whose heart his love does grow, And he will be her one love for—all days; They will sail on to where the two become as one And share their lives now and for al—ways CHORUS Through English countryside and London's streets so wide Where we came to know our love was everlasting; Twas there we set our sails through calm seas and for gales And we swore we would face both to---gether CHORUS At anchor here this day, friends from near and faraway Our friendship and our love be with you al—ways We wish you God's good speed,calm and tranquil seas And love's fair winds in your sails for—all days. CHORUS Happy Anniversary, my darling friends. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy anniversary to my darling husband From: MMario Date: 14 Oct 08 - 10:51 AM It's hard to believe it's been four years; and in other respects, it's hard to believe it been ONLY four years. I remember sitting there watching and marveling that you could actualy see the "glow of love" |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy anniversary to my darling husband From: maeve Date: 14 Oct 08 - 12:18 PM That "glow of love" remains bright and clear; I've seen it. Happy anniversary to you both, and may you ride the waves together for many years to come. Love, maeve |
