Today we remember.  We remember those brave men and women who fight for freedom around the world today and in years past.  My great uncle was one who fought during WWII and thankfully he is still around today to be thanked in person...


Today I also was a very proud auntie.  My nephew was the piper at several ceremonies both today and at schools yesterday.  He is only 14, yet he loves to play the bagpipes at these remembering ceremonies - his way of saying thanks too.

I teach my kids (age 4 and 7) about why we remember - it's important, I believe - that we pass it on down to the next generation.  We must never forget that freedom is always worth fighting for; that doing the right thing is sometimes very hard, but always worth fighting for.  That evil must be stopped and truth is  . . . you know it . . . alway worth fighting for.

So today my children laid their poppies at the cenotaph memorial in remembrance of those who died . . . we remember them.
