Remembering, Honoring


Yesterday was Memorial Day.  Our family tradition has always been to spend time and post flags in a veteran's cemetery.  Christopher is at the heart of this tradition: it's his idea, his passion, his patient and appropriate discussions with the kids about the meaning of the day.  So it was a bit bittersweet to carry on without him.  Tough to explain to the kids that we were honoring men and women who had been in the military and died while serving their country (or as the kids say, they "sacrificed for America").  You could see the wheels turning in Millie's head..."Hmmm.  My Dad's in the military serving his country...".  Anyway, we powered through on our own and ended the afternoon with a picnic lunch and some bike riding.

what a great idea. I am sure it was a bit tough to do, but what a memory to have.
