11th April, darling. Our "other" special day - our VERY special day ... I'll be remembering our 28 years of marriage together - the laughter, the wonderful, daft, silly things we did, "the Clampets", Betsy being lifted on and off Kariba Ferries ... and so much more. I could go on, but I'd be here all day! The first time you told me you loved me - at Harare Airport the evening I was leaving Zim - was our "first" 11th April; our second one was when we got engaged 2 years later - sitting on the stoep at Tankatara Drive after the Baker wedding - and then, of course our own wonderful, happy, joyous "big" day itself 2 years after that {with the judge forgetting his 'duties' and going shopping instead and the scrabble around to find another willing one ... !!}.
But there will also be tears today, lots of them. We cried together at times too, didn't we, but I hope - in time - that the smiles will outweigh the tears. I miss you, my special, wonderful man, and I'll never stop loving you, today or any other day, as long as I live. xx
