A Very Special Day - The 20th October

Our Wedding Anniversary was always important to us both. It was always a special day for us when we remembered our wedding day, our vows and how happy we were to be married to each other. It was a day to remember our past lives together and we recounted many stories of things we had done on 'Our Anniversary'

Over time my habit was to give her a very 'special day', at first it was a present, but it developed into mystery visits and trips which often lasted a few days - togther, alone and in love.

I found this card recently [221 days after she died] I am not sure why she saved it, but she did and I was thrilled to find it.

For the past 35 years I had always saved my Diaries and having looked through them, I have listed below the last 20+ years of the things we did together on 'Our Special Day' with much love, tenderness and happiness.
