A Day of Remembrance..... The Remembrance Day Parade which took place yesterday in Hudson, Québec
Canada, was indeed a day to remember by all
This is a most touching capture, because as I write this I am most chocked up.
In this photo Hayden Paterson (my son, right) is showing Kaiden Parkinson and me the poppy the cubs made for him
while he was away. His father passes away just a few weeks ago, after a long battle with cancer. I was most touched by
the cubs own tribute and proud at the same time that people have big hearts and such compassion, proud of the
boys. Bob Parkinson was a dear Soul, a wonderful Husband to Lianna, a father of five, in a few words, a great man,
also a well respected council member of the Hudson Community. He made his mark in many Souls. His Spirit will live
on. As such as all those who where here before us, and for us. I give Thanks for this special moment these two boys
shared with me. I so Enjoyed the parade, the ceremony tribute, but this to me this was the highlight of the day, where
after the whole ceremony the boys showed me this. Yes this is why I walk around with a camera at all times.

Let us remember so we don't forget. Remember the men and women who fought for our country, for they are our heroes!
We have all that we have because of them…we are blessed and fortunate to live in such a wonderful beautiful and free
country because of them…Thank you!...and peace to all!

It was such a perfect day for a parade, it almost felt like summer. The whole town came to join in and give salute. It was truly a touching
sense of community.

The cubs made this beautiful wreath with by cutting poppy flower shapes in craft foam. I thought it was most creative. Wonderful creation

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
