We interred my parents ashes yesterday so for the first time after he left us nine and a half years ago there is a veterans star and flag by my father’s grave. Felt happy, sad, grateful, and proud all at the same time.

Rest in peace brothers in arms.
Heaven awaits you.
You've already served your time in hell.

You might as well be arguing with a cat.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That marks 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
Flanders, 1915
"No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden."
Thomas Jefferson
