I simply want to share my joy today.
It is forty years since Christine and I married and I am grateful.
I am grateful for our children Matthew, Charlotte and Luke.
I am grateful for the people they love: Karolina, Shayne and Aimee,
And I am grateful for our grandson Archie.
People are the bestest way to celebrate forty years.
Thank you to all of you who have added to our joy over these years; I want you to know, I am grateful for you.

Hooray!! Happy 40th anniversary, congratulations!!! We just celebrated our 10th!
Thank you, Tiffany. Congratulations on ten – that would be marked by something in tin, I believe.
Thanks Geoffrey! I ended up giving him a vintage tin baseball sign, he loves baseball!
That’s a great gift. We gave our oldest son and wife a tin of sellotape on their tenth anniversary: it has “Let’s Stick Together” on the lid.
