Every year the King and I put
flowers on his family graves as well as my deceased husband Marvin…
It is hard to understand why
so many make a big deal out of making Memorial Day .. veterans only… As I was not raised that way.
My father started taking me
to the cemetery to help him plant flowers on this family graves, when I was a
small child… There were many people who also planted flowers on their family
graves. The family had very little
military graves.. So it has been a great
puzzlement to me, to have it only for those and not the rest.
I guess those who are picky
feel that Memorial Day is for the dead military, and Veterans Day is for the
live Vets.
I also heard the night before
Halloween is called All Soul Eve.. and you go to take treats to the graves to
scare away the evil spirits, as you celebrate with your deceased family
member.. Kind of creep to me.. but to
each their own… And as for me.. my
family will mourn and remember for ALL
those who have past.
