Remembrance
‘…a memory or reflection; a specific recalling; a remembrance of those who have crossed over.’
As the many celebrations of Veteran’s Day happen throughout our country, we are brought into active remembering. We frequently engage in remembering and recollecting, however, on Veteran’s Day it becomes a collective experience.
“To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward.” ~Margaret Fairless Barber
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~Maya Angelou
“I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.” ~Julia Ward Howe
Many Blessings!
