Remember Them

This week has been Remembrance Time. Time to reflect, Time to think. What about? All those who lost their lives in conflict. The First World War, The Second World War, Every Battle and War before and since. Its a time to remember all those who served their country in conflict.

Don and I went to London, to Westminster Abbey this year. In the gardens there is a beautiful Garden of Remembrance. It has areas for all the armed and civilian forces, every battalion, every regiment, and every war and battle.



It is there for people to 'plant' their own crosses, with or without photos and messages on them. To take time to remember. To wander among all the parts of the garden, to look and say a little prayer.

Its the place where visitors come all week from around the world, simply to remember.

It is so over powering being there, so emotional but also, for me, a necessity. I am so lucky in that I never had to go to war, never lost a friend or family member to any war or battle. My Grandads both served in the First World War, My Dad in Royal Navy in the Second World War.My husband served in the Army in The Malaysian War. My Brother in Law served in Vietnam. For all their work and the work todays forces are undertaking, I say Thank You.

For all those who have lost loved ones in any war, I say a prayer for you. Bless you. I will never forget.
