Great reminder for today!

❤️

Remembrance Day has always had a special place in my heart because my grandad was a veteran of WWII. The few stories he did tell made remembering all the more real and personal to those of us who had the privilege of hearing them.

As I have gotten older, it’s the stories he didn’t tell that impact me even more profoundly. He, like so many people who have experienced something unthinkable, bore the imprint on his heart, soul, and body. Most people didn’t see it, but I know it was there.

It breaks my heart to think of the weight so many vets carried, and continue to carry, in silence. I am am so thankful for the progress we have made in providing support, hope and healing to people who have suffered. We still have a long ways to go, but I believe remembering is part of what can drive us to do better!
