Remembrance Sunday
It is Remembrance Sunday today. This year it also falls on the 11th day of the 11th month - a day I can't forget for more personal reasons. When the two minutes silence comes I shall not be thinking of the ceasing of the gunfire but the ending of life - and how endlessly cruel this is.

Clare, I'm sorry about your brother. Today has always been a difficult one in our family as well. My father was one of very few men who came back from his unit after four years as a Far East POW and yet it is also my birthday and he was told when he came home that he would never be able to have a child. Dad died ten years ago, but I still don't quite know how to handle today.
Oh, that's so poignant, Ann! I think Remembrance Sunday should be for us to remember all those we loved.
Remembrance day for all those we have lost, Clare. A part of each day, whatever the date also brings remembrance. How can we possibly forget those we've lost who've had such an impact on our lives?
Sorry it's been such a hard day for you.
Thinking of you,
CFR
A crossed comment with similar thought...
Ha - great minds and all that, CFR! Thanks CFR...
Has that sad day come around again so soon? How quickly we whirl around the sun...
Yes, Marly - it seems to spin faster with each passing year.
