Today is my uncle and aunt's diamond wedding anniversary.
Sixty years which have given Dr. Peter and the Rev'd. Barbara Huston eight children, and an ever increasing number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Sixty years which started in England, on briefly to the USA, then Canada with long spells in various of the trouble spots of the world - Vietnam, Bangladesh, Somalia - to name but three.
Sixty years in which they have given a great deal to a great many people - love, support and laughter to their extended family and the same gifts to countless strangers, along with in many cases the ability to go on with life and even the gift of life itself.
May today be a joyful one, and may there be many more such days to come.
