Memorial Day

Being in the "time" business, Memorial Day is a special occasion because it reminds me that each and every minute of our lives counts. Every breath and every move means something.

My parents lived through the depression and were hard working frugal people who valued each and every penny they earned. My father worked two jobs most of his life to make ends meet and we had a great life. I thought we were quite well off! We all ate together and vacationed once a year- it was a great family to have.

Mom and Dad are both gone now and I am living in the home that he built with his hands...he worked on it every day after work and on weekends. This home is quality and it is a legacy to their goals and dreams and hard work.

My point? This memorial day, I will remember them, as I do every day, but I will remember them as I mentally walk through Memorial Gardens where lies my great aunt, grandmother, aunt and two uncles and pay tribute to their lives by learning from the lessons of their living.

What can we all do to help out this Memorial Day? "Who is Your Hero?" http://tweettoremind.org/

To Remember Those Who Cared For Us.

Live Well- Live Long-Time Flys!
