"Remember me in the family tree, my name, my days, my strife;

Then I'll ride upon the wings of time and live an endless life."

THE MONTH OF OCTOBER

This month holds a special event in our family - the wedding anniversary of my parents.

They wed 1959 at St Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Cashel Street, Christchurch, later decimated by the 2011 earthquakes.

This year they celebrated 65 years (blue Sapphire). What an incredible feat. It is something that does not happen often and in the future, I see that happening even less for couples.
