How peaceful.<br /><br />It's great to continue to share with someone even when they can't fully participate in conversation. You are more than a nurse or neighbor. You are a friend.

I think what happens is that the main event takes place at a different memorial each year. It's sad that there are so many in one small area.Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-81543337416955072952012-11-12T09:32:17.083+00:002012-11-12T09:32:17.083+00:00I hope Mrs Jones does get through it...I hope Mrs Jones does get through it...Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-75745000856757648902012-11-12T08:22:12.758+00:002012-11-12T08:22:12.758+00:00Remembrance day is kept by services in South Afric...Remembrance day is kept by services in South Africa but not here in East Africa. We did our own "remembering" with me having had a dad who fought with the Allies in WWII. You are such a darling John. I'm sure Ms Jones knew you were there and this would mean the world to her.
