As today is Remembrance Day I thought I would put together a 3D orb using photos of poppies I have previously posted and a Remembrance Day poppy pin too.
We had our regular ladies lunch today and it was a lovely day but a sad one in one way because we didn't have our pal Jeannie with us, but we drank a toast to her and remembered good times.
It was also a day to commemorate the signing of the peace agreement that ended World War I at 11am on 11 November 1918 and a time to remember and honour the memory of those who served, are currently serving, and those we have lost to the cause.
Jeannie was born in Liverpool in the UK during World War 2 and by the time she was 3 years old she and her family were bombed out of two houses. Her family survived but when she was 8 years old her father died, and her mother also suffered ill health.
In spite of her difficult childhood Jeannie was always such a fun person, so we had a lovely lunch not only remembering the fallen during world wars but also remembering our pal too. Today has been a double day of remembrance.
It’s good to remember & talk about our late friends & family. If we don’t they become forgotten or as if they’ve never been. Lovely orb of remembrance Babs.
