Memorial Day ’25
To you, they were a soldier. To someone else they are: Father. Son. Brother. Mother. Daughter. Sister. Cousin. Friend. Every soldier is a special someone in somebody’s life.

Sometimes we forget
While this entry will be included with next week’s No Theme Thursday submissions, after reading it, I was moved to reblog it now. Aasthawrites at Literary Evaluation Blog wrote a very touching and poignant letter to her mom, and it made me take pause for more than a moment to reflect. So oftentimes we get…
