Speaker 1: our twenty second wedding anniversary, so I cracked out of
Speaker 1: bed really early at half six to get everything ready.
Speaker 1: I wanted my wife to wake up and just everything
Speaker 1: be taken care of. Okay, so we're ent. Sure the
Speaker 1: dogs were walked and all their pooped, and Pea was
Speaker 1: cleaned up in the puppies. I didn't want to have
Speaker 1: her stress to meet her in the morning, and I
Speaker 1: had a nice breakfast waiting. I said, when you start
Speaker 1: to stir, text me and I'll get all the breakfast
Speaker 1: ready so that when you come out it's all there. Patsy,
Speaker 1: get this. I also had twenty two roses, one for
Speaker 1: each year, all.
Speaker 3: Waiting, are you rhymeo you?
Speaker 1: And then when she came to the kitchen, I had
Speaker 1: this plane. This was our first dance twenty two years
Speaker 1: ago from Romeo and Juliet, which is a big movie
Speaker 1: we love that came out in ninety eight as well. However,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you can have all the best plans
Speaker 1: and then you don't know what woman is ever waking up.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I've got all this, I'm playing this almost drops
Speaker 1: to her hands and knees, crying so many lovely memories.
Speaker 1: Oh god, she's really crying. I go, what is it?
Speaker 1: This made me think about my mom and that my dad,
Speaker 1: and how I don't know when we're going to see
Speaker 1: them now? Today's a going to this morning now. So anyway,
Speaker 1: she's so upset, you know, and actually, to be honest,
Speaker 1: both of us at the moment, it's a conversation we're
Speaker 1: not happening because we don't know when Internet. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: we are. I'm not moaning about here in Australia. We
Speaker 1: absolutely love our life here. This is home and I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope this is for the rest of our lives.
Speaker 1: We love it here. But you know, we're obviously missing
Speaker 1: mom and dad because we know that you can't just
Speaker 1: hop on a plane. We were going to be going
Speaker 1: back for Christmas. Actually, when you look to the wedding photos,
Speaker 1: you're seeing all your family and mates, so I don't
Speaker 1: know when we're going to get to see them. So anyway, obviously,
Speaker 1: when when a lady really cries, I mean she's going
Speaker 1: for ten or fifteen minutes and she's feeling what she's feeling.
Speaker 1: The kids come down right and as roses, everyone like,
Speaker 1: oh it's low. They see him on they go, what
Speaker 1: have you done? Tom? And then lois, my thirteen year older,
Speaker 1: I think it's not some of my human just goes.
Speaker 1: She must have really hated that day, and even I
Speaker 1: started to think, is she crying about her mum or
Speaker 1: is it actually.
Speaker 2: That decision that she made twenty two years ago?
Speaker 1: Just thought that he could change. I just thought he
Speaker 1: could change. So anyway, So, like we were talking about

Speaker 1: drove the car to our favorite restaurant and I were
Speaker 1: arranged to pick up our dinner there and then we
Speaker 1: were going to sit in the car and Eatail.
