It has been such a long time since I have posted. Lets just say that life is passing me by so quickly. That inspired me to stop and take a minute to share something. Today is Remembrance Day, and as decades go by I'm saddened to think that new generations of people may not know what that is about. It is so easy to get busy doing things that are not really important that we easily forget why we get to live in abundance. Today my Grandmother pulled out my Grandfather's medals of honour that he received from his service in the Canadian Army and Air force. She read the poem "In Flanders Fields" to our family. It was a very special moment for me as I thought of what he did so that we can live as we do now in freedom. He served in World War II on the front lines. My Grandfather was actually the soldier that ran to the front lines with a stretcher and carried the wounded amidst flying bullets to safety. If only we really knew what true servant hood and sacrifice was like, perhaps our priorities would be much different in our lives. I hope and pray that I can teach my children about his legacy and how important what men and woman like him went through for our future.
Lest we forget!
In honour of my Grandfather, one of my heroes.
Missing you always.
