Happy Anniversary!!

It's my Mum and Dad's 26th wedding anniversary today. 26 years that baffles and amazes me at the same time.

I love my parents, and I know you have to seeing as they created me, but I truly do. My mum is my best friend, she's the one I go to to talk about anything and everything, she's the one that can bring a smile to my face, or make me laugh when I'm down. She's more than a mum, more than a friend, if there is a word for what she is to me, I don't know it. I just know I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have a mum like her.

My Dad is my superhero, (though he'd deny it). He's the one I go to if I need to cry (which doesn't happen very often). He's the one that when I'm sick will come over, give me a cuddle and tell me he'll take all the bad bugs away if I give them to him...yes even now when I'm 22 and I'll bet he'll still be doing it when I'm 40!! He's the strongest person I know, and every day I aspire to be half the person he is, to have half his strength, to have half his understanding and loyalty, half his capacity to love and forgive.

My parents have been through a lot together over the years, from my fathers mother disliking my mum, moving houses, living with said grandmother, caring for my nan, bampa and now my great aunt. Even going so far as to have my bampa (before he passed away) move in and now my great aunt lives with us. And yet, no matter what has happened in the past or what is still happening, I know they can get through anything as long as they have each other.

I only hope I get to experience half of what they have, in the future. That I can meet someone who will fight for us when the going gets tough, who will be; faithful, loyal, compassionate, and to hopefully still be as in love after 26 years and when we first me.

So happy anniversary Mum and Dad, congratulations on 26 years and here's to many many more :D
