Happy Anniversary, Albert said as he and June exchanged cards between their hospital beds.
We've had the best run and I'm at peace with what's coming. Remember our wedding day,
posing for those photographs? I slipped over in the field and you just cried with laughter. There's
a picture on our mantlepiece that's been there for 50 years, of me with muddy legs and you with
wet mascara. I've been thinking bout the future of us and I think we should get buried together.
Our bodies interlocking, embracing forever. We've had a charmed life. We've had a charmed
life. Let's keep a good thing going. Together forever. Happiness exists when finding joy in the
mundane. In Top of the Pops reruns with a supermarket pizza. Sunday morning eggs and
walking our dogs in the rain. Badminton on Thursdays, even though I always beat ya. I've heard
that they're missing us down in our local pub. When they get new beers in, Charlie sends me
pictures. I feel so alive, even though this pain is rough, with each other by our sides, we can
take the future head on."" ""We may be tired, but we're alive."" Happy Anniversary, Albert said as
he and June exchanged cards in their marital bed. ""We've had the best run and I can't believe
we're still going. We've had that picture on our mantlepiece for 51 years now. It warms my heart
each morning when we head downstairs for breakfast. Come join me in the kitchen and we can
dance to old vinyl. Like music box ballerinas, we are slowing, but still graceful. I've been thinking
bout the future of us and I think we shouldn't think about the future. Our bodies interlocking as
we dance in the kitchen. We've had a charmed life. We have a charmed life. Let's keep a good
thing going.
