Nap Interrupted 2



Midget: "Seriously?! What's a guy gotta do to get a nap around here?"

So...

So today I found my grandparent's house listed on an online real estate site.

I flipped through the pictures of the house.

It's empty. 

They pulled up the carpet to expose the hardwood floors.

My grandmother's curtains are still hanging in the kitchen window.

...

I'm not sure how I should feel about it.

Remember


In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- John McCrae

Thank You

Courage doesn't mean you aren't scared.
It means you go anyway.

In memory of my grandfather, who served this country during WWII
