Happy Anniversary! 
Unbearable grief compounded by our adult children’s reactions

Congratulations, you deserve it and you deserve a lovely weekend with family and friends.
I know you have had your health problems but you have come through them all and are here to celebrate a great day.
Bit belated but congratulations on your Golden Wedding - I'm sure now all those disasters are out of the way you'll have a fabulous weekend
I hope the weekend goes uphill from now on Happy Anniversary.
What a start to the day! Happy Golden and have a great time.
Fifty years on you are having another memorable night, albeit in less pleasurable circumstances.
You won't forget this night in a hurry.
You've been sent an experience to remember.
I think it's rather apt. 
Congratulations! ??????
I think they are champagne bottles 
DH and I were at our favourite local pub with our nearest and dearest celebrating our last night of freedom. Actually, we thought freedom would begin the day after our wedding but that's how it was in those carefree days.
Fast forward fifty years and many of those we loved are no longer with us. To be expected of course but carefree??
Yesterday, a burst main just outside the village led to 36 hours without water. The road was closed so we couldn't get to the village to stock up on bottled water but it would have been a wasted journey because they'd sold out!
Tesco phoned to say they'd been turned back but would attempt another delivery this evening. I started worrying about the large order they were carrying because we have a houseful for Easter not to mention our supper and by this time we were sucking ice cubes!!
Amazon then phoned to say they couldn't deliver a package. It was only jokey pressie for DH to open in the morning but....
DD then phoned to say they wouldn't let her past the road block and she would have to turn back and do another hour's driving to get home by another route. 
DGS needed to get to his weekend job at the local pub so I pleaded with the jobsworths at the barrier to let us through as it was our only access and what if we needed an ambulance??? It worked!
The water finally came back on albeit a horrible yellow colour, Tesco delivered in time for DD to stagger in and request a large G&T and DGS will get a lift home with a friend.
It has taken me a couple of hours and a few to unwind.
