And we just wanted to say Happy 25th Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you Mom and Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least, another twenty five more.
I appreciate having you close by to ask advice,
and for the record, you?re great to spend time with,
and this feels like the longest you?ve ever been away,
and now I?m struggling, I?m struggling to live.
So, you will continue to be my lifelong companion,
and I know at times, that's going to be pretty hard,
but maybe I'll take you skydiving or parasailing,
maybe I'll even pay for a meal with your library card.
I'm like a teenager waiting for her boyfriend to call,
and although I laugh at myself, I run when the phone rings,
because I know you will be on the other end of the line,
and I know just what happiness your voice brings.
So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.
But you also let them know you were there for them,
and it's all those little things I appreciate so much,
I love your intelligence and your sense of humor,
and just for the record, my! How I love your tender touch.
Like the time we spent all day fishing,
we?d been quite successful and had a stringer of fish,
but then I went and lost the lot, you were quite upset,
and I was sad for a while, with many a forlorn wish.
We were together for seven years, married for two,
and we were trying to start our own family,
and I know you really wanted to be a Dad,
it's so unfair, I guess it was just not meant to be.
Hear me, my darling, speaking sooth,
Gather the fleet flower of your youth,
Take ye your pleasure at the best;
Be merry ere your beauty flit,
For length of days will tarnish it
Like roses that were loveliest.
I?ll never forget you always getting a hotel with a pool,
just for Joe and I, you?d drive for hours and hours,
and I?ve learned so much from you,
like count the pennies, but always smell the flowers.
But this is meant to be a happy day,
happier for others than for some,
and I just wanted to share some thoughts,
because I wanted to tell you about my Mom:
Now, we have only been together for a little over 3 years,
I guess we met relatively late on in life,
but <NAME>, I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you,
I'm very proud and honored to be called your wife.
But you made many sacrifices for our educations,
because you wanted to give us the very best of starts,
and of all the 52 cards in any one pack,
we?re very lucky, we drew the Kings of Hearts.
I love your passion for sports and your athleticism,
I love your enthusiasm for life in general, your spirit,
you will come up with something fun to do at the drop of a hat,
it seems that your motto is: "This is life, let's be in it".
I could go on but the major point I want to stress is this:
I love you with every fiber of my being, my very soul,
for <NAME>, with you in my life I feel complete,
yes, you are the one that makes me completely whole.
I don't know how we are going to continue without you,
so I'm going to carry you here with me, in my soul,
for with you in my life, I did feel complete,
yes (NAME), you are the one that makes me completely whole.
Hello, our wonderful Mom and Dad,
these words and pictures are just for you,
because we're very proud of who you are,
and yes, we're very proud of what you do.
You?ve always been an incredibly honest person,
and honesty has been just one of the lessons that you?ve taught,
but you?ve always been there for both of us,
so we?d like to thank you for your unconditional support.
And I will also always be there for you,
if you ever need a shoulder or a helping hand,
divided we shall fall and be conquered,
but together and united we will make a stand.
In truth, I love your passion and enthusiasm for fishing,
even though it means we have to spend time apart,
but you've also patiently taught me to love it as well,
so I guess, in this instance, I will have to share your heart.
Because you have shown me what love is for,
and the love that two people can have for one another,
you have shown me how to be a devoted wife,
and of course, how to be a wonderful mother.
I also can't believe the depth of feeling I have for you,
truly, it would reach to the bottom of the deepest sea,
and I'll never forget the our first date with your hand on my back,
what ran through me I can only describe as electricity.
We just can't understand why you were taken from us,
but I guess in the end, you had to answer God's call,
He obviously had a greater purpose for you up there,
although what you achieved on Earth was by no means small.
So, I have learned to try and not show it too much,
however, when you leave, I have to fight back the tears,
and I sit there waiting for you to call (which you always do),
let me tell you, some of those weekends last for years.
Watch out for that lunchtime drink,
it will take your sweet breath away,
and when you've had one too many,
it's so very hard (hic) to have your say.
The Drink definitely improves your athleticism,
you think you're twice as good as you are,
there are times you can beat a speeding bullet,
but watch out for that falling star.
You did everything for me and you were happy to do it,
but your overwhelming generosity had no ends,
because you would do anything for anybody,
and you're missed by many loyal and trusted friends.
And you can have the biggest house in the world,
and you can have a holiday in perfect paradise,
but if you can't find the time for love,
I'll tell you, it's just not worth the price.
What a really stupid saying:
"Let's have one more for the road",
take a life when you've been drinking,
and you'll never repay what is owed.
