As I think ahead to this holiday weekend I find myself bombarded with memories that touch both ends of the happiness scale. I am saddened at the loss of my Grandma this past year, but happy when I think of her easy to invoke laughter. I am soaring with joy as we celebrate my daughter's graduation, but it is tempered with both pride and sadness as I am reminded that she'll be leaving for two years in Honduras soon.
Suddenly it feels like Memorial Day isn't just about those who have already passed on to God's abundant life, but also about the events and people who have been in our lives and who have made us who we are today.
Perhaps not Memorial Day.... but Memory Day. Hmmmmmm - food for thought.
Bacher out.
