I find myself upset to the point sitting at a typewriter did not help. I read that some feel that even if it is a “good thing” to consider the battle against a virus a”war”… it would be wrong to expand one’s thoughts and expression of compassion to include those who wore the Uniform of Dr./Nurse this Memorial day. To fall in the act of protecting the life of other’s… This is to say that our hearts must be more grinch like and limited to specific words and people.
It seems like having a memory is bad because thoughts should be limited to now and what is being expressed at the moment. Which goes against the words “memorial” since it is a time to recall, remember and honor the kind of people who had protected those they did not know to preserve a concept of “life, liberty, freedom, pursuit of happiness”. Memorial Day is a time when we look pass what one’s political view is… because those who we honor did!
I share your sentiments. And that’s a wonderful family photo.
I love this photo… I was jealous at first because I did not get to ride on the tractor with my Grandfather.
