Here in the USA, this weekend marks a time of remembrance. We celebrate this special holiday with cookouts...parades...and cemetery visits. It is known by some as Decoration Day and others Memorial Day.
For myself it is time to remember all the men and women who have served this country. May their service and sacrifice never be forgotten.
Also I visit the graves of my beloved parents, grandparents as well as my husband's family. I know they are not there but it seems appropriate to leave some flowers and pay tribute to what their lives meant to those who knew and loved them
Remembering can be sad but it also has a hidden blessing. It reminds us to slow down and appreciate the people who still remain with us.
God Bless
