Dearest Chris Cox reminds me, “No rush.” Dearest Brenda Guidry advises “Read your articles three times before submitting.” Their clear communication has stuck, but I falter and apologize. Carol Burnett said, “Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.” Could she have referenced to acting because script is interpreted? Words tell it all.

The wind has forcefully arrived to bend the branches and wave the leaves. The birds have taken cover. Outside and in the wild the animals hunker down; they are close by the shaking ground and massive tree trunk yonder… each in view of the wrestling wrapped in earshot of the louder than lovely claps of thunder. Lightning strikes from different directions and the rooftop taps as the windows tremble. A storm is nearing and soon to be upon us.

Commemorating Memorial Day brings to mind the brave who perished for the freedom in our nation. It is a solemn memorial we respect. Veterans bow their heads knowing more than we who have not filled their boots. To them, we say, “Thank you for your service.” We mean to say more… think it… pray for them. Among us are Families and Friends who miss one or more souls fallen in battle.
