Memorial Day weekend used to mean, sunny days of BBQ's, outdoor playtime and an extra day off work/school!
It still is those things, we still get together and have a BBQ with family, and still enjoy the extra day to the weekend but it now means more to me.
Since losing my Dad, this weekend is :
take-flowers-to-his-grave, try-not-to-cry, put-a-smile-on-my-face-and-reflect-on-the-short-while-we-had-him-with-us-weekend.
I know there are many who have faced tragic loses, and this weekend means more and more to them than it ever did...
Take a moment to consider them. Then enjoy precious time with your loved ones.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend.

Give each other a sweet hug. Smile, laugh, and cherish this time you have together. I know I will.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
