“Every anniversary is an occasion when we recollect the precious moments we spent together, when the memories come flooding back, like a wild river. Today, as we celebrate forty years of marriage, a journey of love that has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives, our hearts are filled with gratitude and warmth for all precious times we have shared.
From the moment we joined our lives together, we have always tried to be each other’s strength, and dearest companions. Through life’s joys and challenges, we have always stood side by side, supporting one another with faith, love, and respect. Together, we have built a life devoted not only to each other but also to serving our people and our beloved homeland.
