We will celebrate a special anniversary tomorrow xx

That is so great that you are having a special day to celebrate that he is still with you and that he survived the surgery and it complications. May be we need to do that for Jenny when she reaches a year form her surgery. The day her legs were straightened so she will be able to walk with straight feet. You are always in our thoughts so go out and enjoy the day and celebrate in style.

Hi weemam congrat to you and your husband I glad that both of you are doing better and out of danger. 47 years of marriage, what's your secret? congrats on both, the recovery of your husband and yourself and your wedding anniversary. Have a great and enjoy your celebration.

So are you saying that he had the surgery on your anniversary? Wow!! Good for you for 47 years togehe, and I'm so glad things worked out OK in the end. Congatulaions on your long and happy marriage, and here's to 47 moe wonderful years for you and your hubby.

Sis I am so happy for both of you and know that you deserve each other because you are both sweet people. Doll I will be sending very special thoughts and prayers your way. God bless you both and your whole family. I am so blessed to know you. xxxxxx

I remember you talking on here when I signed up for this site about your husband. You are just as strong of a person as he is. Congratulations to you both, he never could have done it I'm sure without you there by his side. You are an angel in disguise Margaret. Both of you have a wonderful day tomorrow.

Very good advice. I lost my wife of 40 years a year ago last March and there are so many things I wish I had said to her when she was here. I never realized she worked so hard for the family until she was gone. I wish now I had just said thank you a lot more often. My heart goes out to any working wife.

I guess the truth is you don't miss someone until they are gone! I think a lot of us are guilty of taking our loved ones for granted, expecting them to be there for us each and every day, trouble is no one knows what is around the corner and it just might be too late to tell someone that you appreciate and/or love them! Then if you don't you spend years regretting that you didn't tell them or you took them for granted! I hope you enjoyed your meal! I enjoyed my retreat after all, love you to bits Gran and you deserve to spend many many more happy years together xxxx

I hope that you have a wonderful Time today, you both deserve this time together on your own And you are right about that saying to that is why I always make sure that the People I love know that I love them including my Friends and you are one of my Friends that I love so Weemam I love you and now you have a wonderful Day with your lovely Hubby today Big Hugs xxxx

Congratulations to you both Wee. I'm guessing that your own darling man was not aware of the days when these events occurred and I wonder if in a case like this the partner can be aware of or imagine the pain and worry of the one left waiting. I'm also wondering as a result of your post how many people have no-one to say those words to them...the people who will never feel love again or even hear the words. While I'm truly happy for you and yours because you are so special Wee, as is your whole family....I'm feeling terribly sad for all the lonely people in the world who have no-one who cares about them. I'm thinking of the people who have family whom they love but that family would laugh and jeer and throw utterances or words of love back in the face of the one who said those words. It's said we all want to be loved and while it's true for me I think there are many who simply don't care.

Wow that is great! Congrats on your two years and congrats on 47 years together! I hope that my husband and I can make it that long together. We celebrated 7 years this july. We got married when we were 20, so to make it 40 years or more we'll be in our 60's. I couldn't imagine the thought of losing him either. I'm glad you still have your husband.

Hope you had a nice day out and a lovely meal. Yes when things happen like that in your life, it makes you glad that everything is fine.

Hi weemam, I think it's wonderful that you and your hubby celebrate each year, to remember what you went through, and how he came through it all successfully. I believe I can remember your discussion about this, on the one year anniversary, and I think it's just great that you do this. I wish the two of you a very special day today, as you spend some time just the two of you. Wow, 47 years in October, that's amazing, and so touching to see how much you're still in love, after all of these years. I can tell he's a very special man. Big hugs to you.

I would like to extend my heartfelt best wishes to you and your loving husband on both of your special anniversaries, weemam! I fully agree with you that we should not let a day go by without assuring our loved ones of how we feel about them. All too often we never get the chance. You are a remarkable and loving woman and I sincerely hope that you will have many more years with your beloved.

wow..congratulations... take care...

First of all I am glad and thankful for you to still have hubby around. I know about those scary moments. Secondly, I want to wish you a happy day out tomorrow, and thirdly thanks for the reminder to cherish our loved ones. I sometimes take my guy for granted I know.

What a precious journey life has bestowed upon you both and to know that till now, you both are together on this roller-coaster, clinging on to each other like children, looking forward with bated breath to each little bend and curve. One particularly nasty curve was the bypass one but like ideal soul-mates, you relied on each other for strength both made it and deserve a super duper outing together to celebrate your victory over the adversaries of life. I know how precious an ideal partner can be, I am knowing it for 11 years and 47 years is almost like a habit, almost like reaching out and feeling yourself, looking at the mirror and staring back to yourself. I remember a very touching ‘joke’ about a very aged couple entering a McDOnald’s and ordering a single burger. Others looked at them in respect and curiosity too as, when the burger came with the chips, the old man took out a knife and neatly divided it into two as also the chips and drinks. He started eating while the old lady waited patiently for him to finish. One smart aleck (thinking they were poor) offered to buy the lady another burger. The lady said ‘its not the money son, it’s the teeth, we share that too!’ I love this story simply for the great bonding it advocates between husbands and wives, the spirit of caring, sharing and loving unconditionally. Sorry, response is too large, became a bit sentimental here…I wish both of you many many more years together.

Well, that's certainly something to celebrate weemam, your hubby has done good after the initial setbacks of his triple by-pass operation two years ago. I hope the two of you have a wonderful day out, and enjoy your meal as a celebration of him still being here. Hugs to both of you. xx

I think you're a wonderful person Margaret, the reason why God gave him back to you. I wish the two of you would still have long years together. Have a very lucky day tomorrow, friend.
