I Am Because We Are

‘If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.’- Meister Eckhart

‘i am so glad and very, i am through you so i’ -e.e. Cummings

We are Grateful for the Gift of Life, Growing Old Together and Giving Thanks for our Golden Wedding Anniversary

“The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquility of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.”- W. Somerset Maugham in his manifesto for life, The Summing Up

‘Love is the bridge between you and everything.’- Rumi

“Our own life has to be our message”- Thich Nhat Hanh

“Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefulness, and gratefulness is a measure of our aliveness.”-Brother David Steindl-Rast

Today we are full of joy and happiness, words cannot explain.

We are grateful and give thanks for all our blessings.

We give thanks for our Golden Wedding Anniversary, for our life journey together. We give thanks for the moments of joy and the simple pleasures of life. We give thanks to those who continue to love us, even though at times we may not be a worthy recipient of that gift.

We give thanks to our loving parents, cherishing our growing up days in loving families.

We give thanks for our two loveliest sons, Kevin and Paul, the joys of our lives.

We give thanks for our loveliest daughter-in-laws, Sarah and Katie, sweetening our lives.

We give thanks for our gorgeous little princesses, our granddaughters, Robyn, Ivy, Isabel and Poppy, brightening and shining hope into our lives.

We give thanks for our extended families and friends.

We give thanks for our education, careers, what we believe, and what we do.

We give thanks for our retirement days together, helping and supporting each other.

We give thanks for the love of wanderlust, all the travels we have done, the countries we have lived in, the places we have seen, the inspiring friendships we have made, the wisdom we have discovered and the hospitality and love we have received.

We give thanks for all we have. These are the precious gifts we have received. Long may it be so.

Kamran and Annie
