That time again

Hey Everybody:

   We are once again coming up to the second week of November. There may not be too many left that remember the WW2, but we shall never forget their efforts. Reflecting upon the last year, I had a thought. Yes we remember the men and women in the battles in Europe, but what about people like my grandmother, who was NOT in the war effort, but had the love of her life running around on a motor cycle as a lookout for the Canadian forces. Loosing her earlier this year, we lost a TONNE of history, and the lady I inherited my trademarked compassionate heart. But I am not just talking about her. I am talking about the others as well. Who had their loved ones over seas, while they ran the home back here. No they were not putting their lives on the line, but they still had the presence of mind and great hearts to let the ones that did fight go. The stories they could all tell, could fill a million books. Or what about those who never got to see their loved ones again. Please, as you are remembering those who died in war, also remember those who survived. And really when you think about it, none of US would be here now, if they didn’t. Now the video you have become accustomed to in my blog posts. It has been around for quite a while. But really it only gets played around this time of year. On Nov. 11 1999, a singer/songwriter Terry Kelley, was walking through a Shoppers Drug Mart. At 11:55 am, an announcement came over the intercom. Asking for any customers in the store at 11:00 to give 2 minutes of silence for all the veterans. As the story goes…(not confirmed mind you) after he left the store he went home and wrote the song that would become a staple in remembrance day music in Canada. It is called “a pittance of time”. Get the Kleenex for this one. Any way, enjoy….Keep Bloggin’
