Happy 20th Anniversary, Honey

WoW, I can hardly believe it’s been 20 years since I married my sweetheart & best friend. If I had a choice, I would do it all over again. This year we decided to celebrate with a 10 day holiday away… On Monday we hit the road down to the Dolphin coast. For the next few days we’ll be chillaxing and enjoying our break away with family fun and field trips.

Love is the MASTER KEY which OPENS the GATES of HAPPINESS

Thank you for 20 wonderful years Schatzi.

To my darling Husband.

Today we celebrate your most difficult accomplishment, staying married to me all these years.

Before I met you, I was incomplete. You gave a new meaning to my life. You are my partner, my sweetheart, my confidante, my advisor, my comforter and friend - You are my quiet place away from the rest of the world.

We’ve had many mountains on our way and truly, there have been some painful hours, but we’re still standing, stronger than before. I don’t think there’s a love stronger than ours.

I never thought I would meet a man who had everything I was looking for: intelligence, a sense of humour, a loving heart, and a faithful soul; someone who could be both my lover and my friend. I never thought I would meet the man of my dreams... until I met you. I will always love you.

Wishing you all the good things in life. May the love we share grow deeper with each passing year.

Just for fun… DO WE REMEMBER?

celebrating 20 wonderful yearsA woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

“What's the matter, dear?” she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night?' love-quote-iphone-wallpaper

The husband looks up from his coffee, “I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16. Do you remember back then?” he says solemnly.

The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring, so sensitive.

“Yes, I  do” she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.

“Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?''Yes, I remember!” said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues. “Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?” 20th_anniversary_party_gifts_invitation-p1619744883878340272dzjr_310

“I remember that too” she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says...

“I would have been released today.”

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacy. The order varies every given year.

I'm part of the 49Million initiative.

An unusual tale of VICTORY!

Tell me this one doesn't put life in perspective. 


In Phoenix , Arizona , a 26-year-old mother stared own at her 6 year old son, who was Dying of terminal leukaemia.


Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a Strong feeling of determination.

Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up and fulfil all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible.


The leukaemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dream to come true.


She took her son's hand and asked, 'Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up ?

Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life ?'


Mommy, 'I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.'


Mom smiled back and said, 'Let's see if we can make your wish come true.'


Later that day she went to her local fire Department in Phoenix , Arizona,where she met  Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix .


She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her 6 year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.


Fireman Bob said, 'Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary Fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards !


And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat - not a toy one with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots.'

'They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix , so we can get them fast.'





Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck.


Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station. He was in heaven.


There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls.


He rode in the different fire engines, the Paramedic's' van and even the fire chief's car. He was
also videotaped for the local news program.


Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy, that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.


One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed

in the hospice concept - that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital.


Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a Fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and

asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition..


The chief replied, 'We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favour ?


When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire? 'It's the department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room?


About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window --------


6 fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room!


With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they LOVED him.

With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, 'Chief, am I really a fireman now?'

'Billy, you are, and The Head Chief, God, is holding your hand,' the chief said.

With those words, Billy smiled and said, 'I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing.'


He closed his eyes one last time.



I wanted God to bless you.

Please pass this along to people you want to be touched & blessed.

The World Is Mine

Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman And wished I were as beautiful.
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch. But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs; the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad. If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me, "I thank you,
you've been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind." Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two eyes; the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child I knew.
He stood and watched the others play, but he did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said, "Why don't you join them dear?"
He looked ahead without a word. I forgot, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two ears; the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.
