Wow, what a gut wrenching evening. Explaining to our toddler that his best friend (family cat) wasn't going to be here any more. He held it together until he saw his buddy in the hole we had just dug in the garden, then asked if he will come back out tomorrow.
I'm broken.
Today, we pause to honour the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. They faced unimaginable hardship, stood tall in the face of evil, and fought for a future they would never see β for us.
Their courage, sacrifice and unwavering sense of duty must never be forgotten. Every poppy worn, every moment of silence, is a small token of our gratitude to those who paid the ultimate price so that we may live in peace.
Remembrance isnβt just about looking back β itβs about carrying their legacy forward. Itβs about showing respect, unity, and pride in our country and those who defended it.
Let us never take our freedoms for granted, nor forget the price that was paid for them.
We will remember them. β€οΈ
