The Answer is 42

According to Douglas Adams, in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything is 42.

Today, on this day, it is certainly my answer too. Forty two years ago, 25th August 1979, my Dad [who was also minister of the church]  asked me the question "Will you love him, and keep him, honour and cherish him ... from this day forward, until death do you part?" - and I said "I will"

I have never regretted making that vow - and I am truly grateful that we have such a long and happy marriage. Thank you Bob for our life together, and for our daughters, and for all that we have shared together in a life of faith and service for God.

Grow old along with me - the best is yet to be...

Happy Anniversary Bob!
