Wow, I am still crying. The Joyful Journey posted an amazing letter for Memorial Day. It was a letter from a mom and dad to their boy, a soldier in 1945.
It gives you a glimpse of the reality people faced........and still face.
We blubber our way through that letter every single Memorial Day!! My husband usually as to stop at least 2 or 3 times to regain his composure! I feel like it is such a great way to get kids to "get" Memorial Day! I'm so glad it touched you!!
Refined by Fire ~ Some days make you want to throw in the towel, and other days make you want to burn the towel with acetylene gas and a blowtorch. I am finding that my rediscovered faith (unchurched) forces me to hang the towel back up on the rack each day, because other people rely on it to be there...even if it's a little crooked. We are Libertarian family in California.
