All day I scrolled Facebook and read the various Memorial Day posts. All my friends posted about wonderful times with friends and family. I’m glad everyone had such a nice day. There were also a lot of posts about remembering what this day is about. The pictures and posts about those who served were especially moving.
In the Cape Cod Times I found one that summed it up just right and reflected how I feel today. A local dad who lost his son in Iraq said he sometimes feels mad, sometimes feels sad, but always feels proud. Perfect. That’s exactly how I feel when hearing about the thousands who gave their lives for everything I’m thankful for today.
And so, as another Memorial Day goes by, we stop and appreciate what it was all for, and…I have written.
