Views before facts… being human!

I typed my views then checked my facts.  I discovered the number in the house since 1911 is 435 not 235… My intent remains true even when the facts are wrong.  Perhaps its part of being human what we mean and intend outweighs what the facts convey… What the heart means is worth more than simple facts or figures! Just a reminder that people may say things wrong but be right in intent…

Before the before…

There are questions you have… but not the ability on how to ask it and make sense.  I always knew memorial day was about veterans… I was never sure about why our family went to the cemetery on Memorial Day when a veteran was not involved.  Then one day I learned that before Memorial Day, in the south there was Decoration Day and before the Civil War this day was about honoring the family and not just veterans. I did not know how to ask about the before the before…

Since memorial day is linked in my mind to my oldest brother, I link all veterans with my memories of someone I never knew but love and respect always and forever.
