I was walking the dog in the cemetery this afternoon when i saw an unusual sight. It was an elderly bloke i know sat by a grave. He had a bottle of champagne a cake and some music playing from a cd in his car. I asked him what the occasion was. He told me it was his golden wedding today and seeing as his wife was dead he thought he'd do the best to celebrate it by her grave. I looked at the stone and saw she died in 1990 aged 48. He told me she died of cancer just before their 25 year silver wedding and like then, today he was celebrating their anniversary. I told him he was doing the right thing as in a way he's still married to her and they were parted because of fate and not through their own choice. I left him there and wished him well.
Isn't that sad.
