Memorial Day
When I had my 4th child…it was in Novermber … it was Veterans Day…which I found fitting, as by that time I was a veteran of childbirth.
Then 4 years later I had twin
boys… on Memorial Day, I thought that too was fitting.. as it sure was a day to
remember… lol… That was 55 years ago today…
SO …. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD, he was
first… making him the oldest .. as referred to during the years from time to
time, during arguments… And HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAN.. coming up in the rear 45 minutes later.
Being born on Memorial Day is kind of cool. As everyone is celebrating your birthday.. and gets the first of the summer bar-b-ques going and etc..
Maybe not as cool as say 4th
of July birthdays where people celebrate your birthday with fireworks and
etc… and we do have in the family, those
born on that day… but this about Memorial Day..
First big time of the summer to have their birthdays celebrated… with
everyone.. Wishing you guys both a great
fun day with your families…And some one can play the song…55 AND STAYING
ALIVE…
For the rest of it .. it may be a fun time, day off… but for many family it is also a time to stop by the cemetery and drop off some flowers and a moment of silence for those who passed before us… Especially the veterans..
My father and I went every
year to the family grave site and put flowers on each one …and then my brother
carried on the tradition.. after Dad passed. Ken and I go to the one here, for
his parents, sister and brother… and I
put on my husband who passed in 1986. It
is still a day of reflection of years or past with our love ones.
