I've been writing all evening just trying to find the right words to express how I feel today, but all I really want to say is happy silver wedding anniversary, dad. I don't need to explain that today itself is not happy, but it's the past 25 years of marriage that you and mum have shared so happily together that we shall celebrate always. You and mum, your darling wife, are my biggest inspiration and I love you with all my heart.
