In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark 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
From a father of two brave Canadian soldiers, from the bottom of my heart Thanks to all the members of our forces
I would like to express my sincere apologies to my contacts, flickr-friends, and flickr "family" for my sporadic visits and terrible lack of correspondence over the past few months. I know that I owe many of you replies to your thoughtful messages and visits to your photo-streams, especially when many of you take the time to visit every photo I post.
I am hoping that those times I do visit and catch up with your streams, my sincerity and faves help make up for my tardiness. My flickr time and your photography is something I always look forward to doing and seeing.
Over the last three and a half years, our care-giving has escalated to another level as my great-aunt Rose's condition worsens. She is showing rapidly advancing signs of Alzheimers and her sight is completely gone now. Bill and/or I spend several hours a day at my family homestead, helping with things that many of us take for granted like finding the food on a plate, grooming, or making it to the bathroom in time without having an accident. We also have the "emergency" phone calls around the clock when when something is too difficult for my dad (who has paralysis from a stroke and motorcycle accident) to handle on his own.
I know several of our flickr-friends and family understand because they have been in the same position as care-givers, but in light of a few contacts deleting us because of taking "too long" to visit, I want to offer a reason and an apology.
A BIG thank you to my relatives who have made the time to stop by Ron and Rose's place with gifts and groceries over the Holidays. It is a tremendous help, and I know how much they appreciate it!

Sadly, today I also found out that my 59 year old, (and only) Uncle Ron is being taken off life-support. He was like a big brother to me, and I owe much of my love for classic cars to him. I don't know what the rest of the week will bring...
If you are still reading this, thank you for allowing me to ramble. Thank you for your support and understanding. And most of all, thank you for your love and friendship - it helps make all the difference.
Sincerely,
T

This song seems so fitting right now and is an inspirational reminder of where I need to be.
"Disturb me with all your cares and your worries.
Trouble me on the days when you feel spent.
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?
Trouble me."

Please remember that today is not about your skills as a grill master. Make sure you take some time and think about those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to give us this life we all enjoy, and quite often, take for granted. #ultimatesacrifice #ultimatesacrifice๐บ๐ธ #memorialday #godblessourmilitary #godblessamerica #godblessamerica๐บ๐ธ #forevergrateful๐ #memorialday๐บ๐ธ #memorialdayweekend2020 #memorialday2020๐บ๐ธ #memorialday2020 #rememberthefallen #rememberthefallenheroes #rememberthefallen๐บ๐ธ #honorthefallen #honorthefallen๐บ๐ธ #honorthefallenheroes

Genesis 15,16,17; Luke 6
Genesia 15 : 5 He took him outside and said, โLook up at the sky and count the starsโif indeed you can count them.โ Then he said to him, โSo shall your offspring[d] be.โ
13 Then the Lord said to him, โKnow for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age.
Genesis 16 : 10 The angel added, โI will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.โ
Luke 7 : 20 Looking at his disciples, he said:
โBlessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
23 โRejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
24 โBut woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
Love for Enemies
27 โBut to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 โIf you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Judging Others
37 โDo not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.โ
39 He also told them this parable: โCan the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46 โWhy do you call me, โLord, Lord,โ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.โ
Don Bigileone and Julian Marley after his amazing performance with The Uprising band at Hernesaari Beach in Helsinki on 31st of July 2018. This day I'll never forget because I consider Bob Marley as one of the greatest artists of all time and the fact that I had this great honor to meet his son Julian meant so much to me. I'm so grateful to Jaime Hinckson who made this very special moment to happen.
Topic: Deoderant for MJ ๐ $4.70.
He ran out. He usually copies his dad and two older brothers. He doesn't smell yet but it's always good to teach them to shmell good. ๐
DJ puts deoderant right after she takes a shower therefore, MJ feels left out. ๐ She puts cause I put. ๐. AJ better put. Major turn off if not, yeah guys. ๐
Unless you're Eurasian (Grow out armpit hair. No deoderant required like Madonna I would @$$ume) yeah Soleh๐๐๐ค
