Below is my five minute #freewrite on today's prompt: mom and dad
If you've never written a Freewrite before please visit today's post by @mariannewest
I went to a funeral on Thursday for my good friends mother at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, and while I was there I visited my mom and dad as they are buried there also. Big John gave me a couple of roses to bring to my folks, so I picked up some vases and said a prayer for them. My father passed away on February 29th, 1992, so I'll be back at Fort Sam next Saturday with fresh flowers. It's hard to believe that it's been 28 years since he passed. My mamma passed away in 2013, the same year I retired. My sister's go to the cemetery almost every Sunday to bring fresh flowers, they are a Godsend and I'm so lucky to have them both. Fort Sam is a National Cemetery for veterans only and beautifully kept. I prayer for them and veterans everyday. God bless America 🙏

How wonderful that you live so close to Fort Sam that you can go so easily, although nowadays, San Antonio has so much traffic in their corridors! It is easily one of the most beautiful places to be laid to rest.
My parents are in Arlington and I feel lucky and proud each time I go visit them and lay flowers at their graves.
Le Sigh.
You have great sisters and a wonderful sensitivity when doing the freewrite. Have a great Sunday!

Thank you @dswigle, I am lucky for sure. 🙏

What a lovely photo of your parents. I have one of my parents with my father in his army uniform when they got married during WW11.
Time passes so quickly and changes after our parents pass. ❤️

Your parents live on in your posts - any mention of them, and I'm riveted. Great WWII era photos--they remind me so much of my husband's parents in their wedding photos (1941). Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with the world!
I love that you peruse old posts Carol. You're on the trail, teasing out the story I see. I hope you write more of it for us. I love the one you posted today.
Aw, I love it that you reply to my replies to old posts - so old, the poster HAS DIED!!!!
And maybe I'll tease some more out of that story.
Or maybe it will just add to the pile, like clam shells. The pearls have been sold to fortune hunters. The clams have been boiled down, their shells heading to button factories...
Yeah, I may have spent too much time in the sun today, bent over, weeding.
I've been pulling up vinca! Poor me.
No actually I put in some peas and onions today. Feels really good to get the garden in! So much to do now though. It's crunch time! Why does that always catch me unawares.
Crunch Time.
Yes.
And here I stand at the pc, not planting more peas.
Nor carrots.
I even bought broccoli seeds yesterday (half price; no other incentive).
As I don't even like broccoli, it stands to reason that the critters won't poach it from me.
The watermelon and cantaloupe seeds, I left at the store.
Bugs and possums always get them before I do.
Peas! We have six rows now. May they grow.
Despite this hot, windy April weather -
Whassup with that - where's "April showers bring May flowers" -?
Maybe someone in the Sahara is discovering that one. -_-
