The fallen soldier, the loving grandmother, the wonderful mom, the father who died too soon, the brother who should still be here, the grandfather you never knew, the aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, pets, and friends that have gone on ahead.
Memorial Day is the day to remember, to reflect, to appreciate, and to miss them all.
Visit a local cemetery, lay a flower on the grave of a stranger who died long, long ago. Let this simple gesture symbolize your gratitude for your loved ones then and now.
Honor the dead and celebrate the living and especially celebrate YOUR life!
And don't forget to have fun! It's the "official" start of summer in America!
Happy Memorial Day weekend!
Crazy busy time of year for Wisconsin! A bit on the cool side for outdoor water play, tho.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post and reminder that Memorial Day is not just about special sales in the stores. This month has great meaning for me.
Here it is the official beginning to the barbeque season...altho I don't think it ever ends here :^)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and how come we've not heard anything more about mysterious blue thing?

That deal is "history". The seller did not have the title. I think I'm done with Craigslist. Next scoot will be new, purchased from local dealer!
DeleteMaybe next year...
Thank you for the reminder Deb....a good day and weekend to you too!
