AT 60 - 25th May (730.3 - day one rest)

Sitting still doing nothing is very hard for me. But it has given me time to reflect on the date. 25th May 1985 is our wedding anniversary, a very special day that changed my life for ever. 

The wedding day was a bit of a blur but it was the start of a 36 year adventure together. When I look at the wedding album we looked so young!!! And yes I did get my hair cut for the wedding, even though it was well down over my collar. 

Linda gave me a very special card for the occasion and what she wrote was so special. Also had a profound impact on our lives together. It set the correct course of our lives together. It’s important to set priorities when you start a life together, it’s easy to make bad decisions and spend your energies on good things but miss the best things. We made mistakes but overall I think we put things into right order. Certainly her card got the first two set correct. 

Our marriage thrived with this priority. 

I miss you my love. 

Ode to my wife

I miss looking into the blue lagoons of your eyes. 

I miss holding hands with our unique grip. 

I miss sharing the excitements of the day. 

I miss your cooking and wonderfully food. 

I miss campervaning together. 

I miss BBQing steak on holidays. 

I miss sitting around the camp fire. 

I miss cooking marshmallow as the sun goes down. 

I miss the parties you organised so well. 

I miss Christmas time that you loved. 

I miss the valentine card. 

I miss the fun you brought.  

I miss making you morning tea in bed everyday. 

I miss reading together. 

I miss praying together. 

I miss going to church together. 

I miss the friendship 

I miss the relationship

I miss the closeness

I miss you my loving wife. 

Your life was cut short but well lived. 

Your life was full and shared with others. 

Your life was a real life in Christ. 

Rest well my love with your saviour and Lord.
