For Mom & Dad
On this Memorial Day, I am, especially, remembering my mom & dad. Dad served in World War II &, thankfully, came home. He passed away, 6 years ago, in April. Mom passed away, in October, 2012. Although I miss them, I am forever thankful for the support & care they showed me, each day of their lives, & for the lessons they taught me, by word & deed. In Missouri, their home state, Memorial Day is called "Decoration Day" & is a time for family to get together, to weed the graves of loved ones & decorate the graves with flowers. I will be visiting my folks' graves this coming August, when I fly to Missouri to visit my relatives & remember those who've passed before us. Love you, Mom & Dad!
I photographed these Bleeding Hearts when I attended the Memorial Day parade on May 27, 2013 in Millerton, New York, USA.
