We are grateful for the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
We are grateful to the widow who raised children without a dad. For the widower on Christmas Eve who put together toys alone. For those who attended their children’s events with happiness in their hearts while fighting back tears in their eyes. For those who had to play both roles as mom and dad in the lives of their little ones.
We are grateful for the parents who knew their child from his first breath to last, but who would have gladly reversed the roles if it were at all possible.
We are grateful for the children who knew more stories about their parents than from living out life’s stories together. For the child who longed to know better the hero in the picture prominently placed in the house.
This Memorial Day, we remember and are grateful. Freedom isn’t free.
