Happy Monday!
I wasn't sure how to write about this, but here goes...
Yesterday I was downtown for the Remembrance Day Parade. It was the first time I had ever attended it. Partly because I am usually at work, and partly because I was never interested.
Perhaps, the problem is I never really understood Remembrance Day. Sure, I know what it means, and I know why we have a day to honour our soldiers, because we were always taught about it in school.
I think the problem is, I have never had to live in a time of war. If I feel this way now, how are my children going to feel in another ten or twenty years. And what about their children?
I am eternally grateful for everything our Canadian soldiers have done for us. I am gratefully for everything being Canadian means.
Yesterday, as I watched the veterans walk down Wyndam Street, I was filled with emotion. I wondered what they had seen in their lifetime, and felt grateful for everyone of them.
So here is my question... How do I make sure my children, and future generations feel everything I felt yesterday while I was watching the veterans march by?
Knowing what Remembrance Day represents is one thing, but being able to truly understand is another.
I hope that makes some sense to you.
See you all next week,
Krista
