Twenty-Six Years On


So what was I doing today, 26 years ago? Getting married to my gorgeous husband Andy! We didn’t know what the future held for us but here we are still together and happy more than a quarter of a century later with having created three boys. The fact that one of them is no longer with us is a stark reminder of how strong we have been as a family over the years. We have laughed and cried together and had each other to lean on in times of sadness.

George and Henry have grown to be strong, handsome, well-balanced young men who are both starting to forge their own ways in life and who knows what theirs will look like. As with any parent, I wish them both a long and very happy life and hope they take advantage of the opportunities that come their way.

Of course this time last year we were celebrating our Silver wedding anniversary and we had a party jointly with Deanna Woosey who turned 18 in the same week. And in a few more weeks we will have been living on this beautiful island for 2 years. It really doesn't seem possible. So in a few months’ time we will have to start looking for employment elsewhere. Who knows where that search will take us? What I do know is that we will be together wherever ‘there’ is!
