This Rememberance Day prompted me to find out where my great grandparents were buried as well as my grandparents on both sides of the family. It's never been something my family wanted to talk about but I think that remembering those who put their lives and everything of themselves for country and fellow folk deserve a place in our memories and to be passed down or sideways to those that came later, or we will completely lose our heritage.
Unfortunately the younger generations of today are not even being taught about either of the World Wars, so I fear it is all being forgotten. I won't forget and I will always hold space and time for those special people who bravely gave themselves to save their kin - their lineage - all of us ultimately!
Thank you for remembering and honouring those that fell as well as those that came home.
It's convenient to forget things that bring discomfort or remind one that everything isn't always ok, even though, through remembering them we have a chance at taking actions that ensure they're not repeated.
I guess, for people these days, they're too busy remembering what online orders they have coming through from Amazon or what score they got on Candy Crush, you know, the real important things.
