Through seasons of sun and shadows cast,
We’ve held each other firm and fast.
From youthful vows to silver threads,
Our love has grown where life has led.

We’ve danced through storms, we’ve laughed through rain,
Turned trials to lessons, softened pain.
With faith as anchor, hearts as guide,
We’ve walked this journey side by side.

The river’s song, the campfire’s glow,
The cheers when Springboks steal the show.
Cowboy hats beneath wide skies,
The spark of love still in our eyes.

In silly dress or quiet night,
In every wrong, we’ve found the right.
And still I fall, as once I knew—
My home, my heart, is here with you.

So here’s to us, through all the years,
Through laughter shared and silent tears.
For love like ours will never fade—
It only deepens, day by day.

Forever your Gazza ❤️❤️

My Maggie, 💕
Your words touched me to the core. Thirty-one years on, and I still feel like the luckiest man alive that you chose to share your life with me. You’ve been my compass when I’ve wandered, my peace when the world weighed heavy, and the spark that makes even the ordinary days worth living.
I love the woman you are—faithful, graceful, and fierce in the way you love me and our family. I treasure the home and life we’ve built together, day by day, laugh by laugh, tear by tear.
Thank you for reminding me that love doesn’t fade—it grows deeper, stronger, and more unshakable with time. My heart is yours too, Maggie—always has been, always will be.
Here’s to us, my love, for all the years behind us and all the ones still ahead.


Your message to me this morning:

To My Love, on Our 31st Anniversary
Thirty-one years, my love —
and still, when I look at you, my heart knows it’s home.
Through every season we’ve shared, you’ve been my anchor,
my strength when life tested us,
my joy in the quiet moments,
and the laughter that carried us through.
I love the man you are —
resilient, loyal, and true.
I love the life we’ve built lol
a tapestry of faith, family, and love.
And most of all, I love that after all these years,
I still fall for you every single day.
Here’s to us, my Love.
My heart is yours — always has been, always will be.
Love
Maggie
