Today we spent part of the day out at Hobo Camp~ it was a delightful day for kids and grown ups. I took a walk by myself and just enjoyed the back paths, underbrush, and deer paths instead of walking the path...
Today is Memorial Day~ a day set aside to remember the soldiers who faught for our country to keep America the home of the free and the brave. I have been very fortunate in my life, that no family members died in war or conflict to give me the freedoms I enjoy. However there have been some very special men, who gave part of their lives, time out of their families, and some that carry scars from the time they gave. So for each of them~ a little special moment of memory...
JJ, Chuck, Bob S., Karl, Tom, Darrell, Jack, Gene, Clifford, Ben and so many more....
Along with remembering these soldiers, I thought about all the changes this last year....
May 29, 2009~ all innocence my family enjoyed was torn away from us. We learned that night that you cannot trust even the people in your life you love the most. Devistating...
But...
Rebuilding began
Who knew that day that just 9 months and a few days later I would have found someone who I could trust again, someone who would help put my family back together and someone who would love me as much as I love him and takes the time to show it every day!
