this weekend was BB’s first time to take part in the remembrance parade. This means different things to different folks, with some thought of it being subverted to glorify war. it doesn’t mean this to me, for me it is a personal memory of little nanny and her generation. I miss them, they had a certain something of spirit and style. I also hope that such a war will not happen in my lifetime. No more lives cut short. I hope that we learn to look for peaceful solutions, to embrace each other rather than looking for conflict. There are many wars being fought around the globe all the time. World peace seems a far off dream, but that is what remembrance day means for me, a hope of peace.
the rest of the weekend was fairly chilled. BB and i played some games, read some books, did some baking and a fair bit of snuggling.
I haven’t been able to put into words what the day/moment meant for me but reading this is the closest I have got, thank you x
