On our way to Denver for my granddaughter’s graduation to receive her Medical Degree after eight years of work. The mountains and Long’s Peak, the tallest in the photo, were at their most beautiful!

Celebration lunch included seeing my first great grandchild and holding her! So tiny but she is doing well. What a memorable day♥️

Reflection

The Old Farmer’s Almanac:

“Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.”

“Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day, starting with the American Civil War. It’s believed that the tradition of honoring the dead was inspired by the way Southern states decorated the graves of both Confederate and Union soldiers with flowers, wreaths, and flags.”

IAVA organization requests to take a time of silence at 3:00 pm local time. Remember the fallen.

They stand around in horror, watching the grief for the victims spread. The heavily armed and the tshirted parents, all mulling around in awe that such a thing could happen in their neighborhood. Guilty officials hold press conferences on their way to a campaign rally, taking the time to offer prayers and thoughts to the stricken. Self righteous bigots back them up, no one is taking responsibility, it’s just another sad day among many, and they are going to be late for their golf game. The grieving families hope it will happen never again, but they know it will.
