Today would have been my parent’s 45th wedding Anniversary had not my father unfortunately (and much missed) passed away last year. We spent the day with mom – who really loved Maeves company, and went out for a lovely meal in Navan.

Naturally mom missed dad, we all do. But they had a good marriage and their love comforted  them in times of trouble. I hope that i will live long enough to see my 50th Wedding Anniversary in 2055 – I’ll be 90 then.

The one story that stands out about my parents wedding in 1962 is the one that when Dad told his mom that he was getting married on September the 14th, he found out at the age of 26 that it was his mothers birthday!!! before that is was a mystery.

Families are perculiar things.
