March 10 was our 55th wedding anniversary. We had planned on going out to dinner, but plans got changed. For the last month, Charlie has been in the hospital and rehab. Looking for him to be able to come home soon. I took him to the hospital with pneumonia and he was there for 10 days. They released him to the rehab. Last Sunday morning they sent him back to the hospital and they kept him until yesterday. So we did not get to go out to celebrate. Maybe when he is able to come home, we can have our anniversary dinner. Joyce

Congratulations, so sorry that you were not able to celebrate.

Sorry I missed this earlier and I hope he is home by now, if not, and If he is at least able to enjoy food at this point, and if you live in an area big enough to have the services or friends willing to pick up and deliver, I think that you should have a fancy meal delivered to his hospital room. Go all out and bring linen table cloth, music and flame less candles and have a very unique and special evening. Once he is out of the hospital he will likely still need recoup at home, so I for one, hope you celebrate for the conditions you are having, whether at home, or a candle light dinner with mood music in the hospital room. You may be surprised at just how much the staff would help you pull off a fancy dinner that you both as well as all the staff would never forget. Hope it is not long before he is home and doing well but if you never had the opportunity to celebrate your special day, I think it would be a regret and I try hard to not have those kinds of regrets as both my husband and I have both had far too many situations that could have been our last moments on this Earth. Hugs and hope he has positive updates soon. Pam

Hope things get better. Celebrate your anniversary later! Kay

Congrats on 55 years! Continued blessings and healing

I have prayed the Lord to take care of him and heal. Happy Anniversary to you both! God bless you.

Thank you everyone for your comments. You have some good suggestions will think about that. I hope to find out tomorrow when I can expect him to come home. Joyce

That is great. I do not know anyone who reached their 70th. I have a friend that reached 65.

"Happy 50th Golden Anniversary Joyce" Prayers for Charlie ~hugs~

Happy anniversary, Joyce and Charlie. I think Karen has a wonderful idea. Pack a nice table cloth, a candle and either make or purchase a special meal and take it to Charlie. It will certainly be one you remember.
Prayers for Charlie to get home soon and for you to be able to meet his needs as he heals.

I'm sorry you did not get to celebrate as usual, but you can still celebrate.
Talk to the staff and see if you can bring in a special dinner for the two of you to celebrate. After all, it is not the place that makes the day special but that you are together and welcoming a new year of togetherness. And now that we know, we Cuties will be praying for the two of you.

Congratulations on 55 years! I am sorry to hear that your hubby is having health issues. I will pray for both of you.

Congratulations on your anniversary. Hopefully Charlie will be able to come home soon. Marian

Congratulations..... you managed to stick through 55 years... this is so wonderful!! I wish you many many more years of happy memories... Hugs, Dolly

Congratulations and Best Wishes

Oh! I do hope so Joyce. What a marvellous milestone 55 years. You must have been young when you got married!!! I do hope that Charlie gets better really soon so that you can celebrate your wedding anniversary. I see that 55 years is represented by an Emerald, I hope you get something nice, if not some jewellery, then something in the colour! Love Chris
