Last night, I listened as my daughter spoke to her Great-Grandpa on the phone. She called to share with him the mark she received on a school project. The assignment included information about her Great-Grandfather’s time as a soldier during WWII. At one point she paused and said, “Tomorrow is Remembrance Day Grandpa; I want you to know that I remember”.
Our freedom was not free. Today, I remember. Thank you Grandpa.
Today I took pause. I stopped what I was doing to reflect on that which has not directly touched my life, and yet has profoundly affected it. I thought of the terrible loss of life and I prayed for peace. Peace, not only for me or for this great nation of Canada but for people everywhere of every tribe and tongue.
I am privileged to know a few of those who have severed, suffered and returned home from WWII to the freedom that many gave their lives for. Today I say thank you! I know full well that my thanks could never be enough so I pledge to remember and to pass on that remembrance to those who follow after me; Lest We Forget.
