Well, barring delays Mum and Dad are in mid-air now on their way out to their Golden Wedding anniversary holiday in Malta. I never thought when I booked it that there'd be a war on when they were flying. There's no reason why there should be a problem, but I'll still be glad when they phone to say they've arrived.
I just spoke to the hotel who confirmed they were expected and that there would be flowers in their room on their arrival - they do that for all anniversary couples. I also arranged for a couple of surprises in the restaurant on the night of the anniversary (I won't spell them out just in case Mum and Dad decide to look at this journal from the cybercafe in Valetta - yeah, I know it's not likely but you never know when Sod's Law will strike).
I know this is a bit extreme as anniversary presents go, but I just wanted to do it - and for once in my life I have the money, so why not? And anyway, they didn't have to pick me when they were looking for a child to adopt, they could have chosen a different one. So I think a lifetime of thanks are in order and this, frankly, is small beer when it comes to repaying that debt. |

I wanna be like Random when I grow up. ;]
Do you have any idea how many times I've read your stuff and thought 'he reminds me of me at that age'?
do I remind you of you at your age too??? I wanna be like Random!
Audrey! You remind me of another guy I know! A little known fellow by the name of GOD....
Hell no - your experiences with your mother have given you a depth and wisdom that it took me many more years to achieve. Also, no-one ever told me I was "da sexah" or tried to anoint me their God, I'll tell you that for nothing.
hehe, Kiowa talk, its a language all of its own... or should i say 0wn?
What a wonderful gift.
It's funny, as a child I never got the importance of an anniversary.
As an adult, each time my parents share yet another year I can't help but thank them for showing me exactly what a good marriage looks like.
You're a wonderful person Random and I do believe your parents had it in the cards to be the lucky ones when they 'chose' you...yet another reason to celebrate their bond.
But I've been lucky too - lucky to have them and also lucky to have traced my birth mother and discovered a unique friend in her... and I'm not just saying that because she's finally found the right link to this journal after mistakenly thinking I was ![[info]](http://piktures.deadjournal.com/userinfo.gif) random! Life's strange, isn't it?
Wow - that other guy seems a little disturbed!
Your journal is far more enlightening :)
You can imagine what Susan (my birth mother) made of it then...
By the way - happy birthday!

My God, already, all this is going to go to your head, isn't it, sweet pea?
I didn't know him at age 19, but he was very sweet by the time he was 22...
