This is always a very special day for me as it is the day my parents were married and also the day I was married. As it approaches this year it is no less emotional. Mum and Dad were married for 33 years before dad passed away. Paul and I will have been married just 26 years in a few days time and we hope to have a great day with our amazing boys. Dad would have been so proud of all that they are becoming. They have all worked so hard to get where they are and they make me very proud as they move on through their life journey. Dad always instilled the importance of working hard and striving to be the best you can be, and this is what I wish for for my boys. One day I hope to be able to share some of my oldest boy’s art on this page (when he starts to believe in himself and allows me to) so that he can be proud of the talents he has in his own right.

It seems such a long time since I heard Dad’s soft voice and felt his warm embrace, and almost as long since I had the comfort of Mum to reassure me that I am doing ok with the boys. I cherish the fact that she supported me in my wish to share their special day and will be thinking about them both on Sunday. Love alwaysxx
