I'm sure if you are on Facebook, you have seen all the dedications to the veterans and Fallen. To some this is an abstract thought, but to this family, Memorial Day is an important day. Yes, my husband is in the military, but in the past 9 years we have lost some extremely good friends. These were friends that have changed our lives for the better. There is no greater gift than lives lost protecting our country and freedom. Our home has always been known for the place to come for "Momma" to feed you. We have celebrated holidays, births, deaths, and just good times jammed into small houses with small tables. It never mattered where we lived, or how many people, all that mattered was Family and camaraderie, a place to gather and share a meal, and know we all loved each other. Over the years we have gained so many friends that became family. With that said, we also lost friends that will also be family.
After a lot of sweat and a little blood, the table is finished. We felt it was appropriate to put it together today. Now we have a proper family table for the ones that are still with us. As we come together to celebrate occasions, we will always the remember the one that no longer are here to gather.
Happy Memorial Day
Thank you to all that serve and to the families of the Fallen.
