Thank you for helping me through a difficult day.

Trac, thank you for pointing out how humorous my descriptions were. I reread my post this morning and I had a good laugh.

Caly, thank you for the hugs and Love. Disappointments are one of the hardest challenges that we face. I try not to set myself up for them but some are unavoidable.

I have been involved in planing several other 25th Anniversary parties over the years that I just assumed that that was a natural occurrence. When I wrote the post it was early in the morning and the day did not turn out to be so bad. It was a very emotional one but it turn out okay.

My oldest telephone to say that she made a mistake and had the flowers sent on the 26 instead of the 25 so I have something to look forward to today. My second daughter and her boyfriend gave us a gift certificate for my favorite restaurant and they were willing to provide babysitting. My husband and I for the pass eleven years have gone to the same restaurant for our anniversary. Because my day was such a whirlwind of activity I was unable to make a card for my husband like I had planed but he did find the time to find me one, go figure.

Count of moms to come thought. My mother and father-in-laws along with my husbands two sisters gave us a Precious Moments 25th Wedding Anniversary statue, which really brought me to tears as well as a tea cup that was silver and had the 25th Anniversary inscription.

My mother recently lost her oldest sister and my cousin was down with some of my aunt’s belongings. It was decided that I would be the recipient of my aunts wedding gown. This was the most emotional part of my day. How do I explain to my cousin that I am not having the ceremony that I had long for? I did manage to explain that our plans were put on hold and that I was not sure when or if we would ever do it. I graciously excepted the dress and explained that maybe I could use it in some of my photo shots with my flowers. The dress has weather time nicely and it will look good in photos. It was great to see my cousin and one of my other aunts and our visit after that awkward moment was wonderful.

Therefore, my anxiety over my anniversary going into obscurity was unfounded. Thank you again for being there for me, lot of Cyber Hugs and Love to you both.

Warmest Regards,

Rainy Im soooo glad things went so well and you have some special memories of the day!


As I grow older I am coming to believe that the most Wonderful moments in our lives are truly the unplanned ones.
