Yesterday, Veteran's Day on Facebook, was perfect - the timing impeccable. One could sense the love, proudness, the tears, and sadly, the empty spots at the dining table. Those moments of eye closure, traveling back, smiling, bring yesteryear back, at least for a short.
Our paths are unique, we travel forth with those recollections serving as our own personal 'microchip.'
Our great Nation, while perhaps temporarily frayed, is strong, will be strong - thanks in large part to those who lanterned the way for us. Microsoft did that red underline thing with 'lanterned'. I guess it ain't really a word. Should be.
They say you can't go back. No, of course you can't, but we can close our eyes momentarily, and whenever we wanna, for a respite, go back. The Way We Were... is Who We Were.. and, Who We Are.. Happy Day
Love Victurd
(That's your cue Barbara):
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
