Today is Papa and Mummy's wedding anniversary. However, it is also a bit weird today. This being the first time in 44 years that Papa is not around with us, especially Mummy on this day. We never had any big or grand celebrations, except maybe for their silver jubilee. It has always been a very quiet and low key celebration - just like all our birthdays. However, we always made it a point to call, talk, sing for the occasion specially. In earlier days I would send them a letter in advance.
Nonetheless, I did wish Mummy yesterday. Mummy wasn't too sure what to say. She then said, only half the part is here. The other half is not there to celebrate. I told her, "He will get his share of greetings too! For now, you take our greetings for both!" Later I told Willy, that Papa for sure, would have already made some deals with St Lawrence in heaven: "Full bottle for the day!"... just like he did every year with Willy on such days of celebration!
Happy anniversary, Papa and Mummy! Thank you for all that you have been for us!
