Memorial Day

Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.

~Scottish Proverb

I was explaining to the boys what Memorial Day was all about, and why we were having a 3 day weekend. Christopher had a great idea, and asked if we could go to a cemetery. Both boys have been curious and wanting to go to one for a few years now, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity. We visited the Rose City Cemetery.
We roamed the grounds, read the names, found markers with flags, and headstones with flowers. Believe it or not, it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon, and a great reminder to embrace every day on this earth, and love those in my company. We sure don't have forever.
