Remembrance Day

On Thursday, November 11 is Remembrance Day. A day when we honour and remember all those who gave up their lives so we can live free and safe. It is an important day because of the greatest sacrifice they have given which is their lives.

So to all who are in different countries fighting for us, we salute them on this day.

At the same time, my family is remembering my nephew who died unexpectedly. My sister who writes poems in honour of him on special ocassions sent me this one for Remembrance day.

To Gino, we will remember you always.

Favourite quotes/sayings

"Friends are like snowflakes, none of them are the same."

"Remember your yesterdays
Dream your tomorrows
And live your todays".

"Life is too short to wake up in the mornings with regrets. So love the ones who treat you right, forget the ones who don't. Remember everyday happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it; if it changes your life let it. No one said it would be easy, they just promised, it would be worth it".

"You can tell more about a person by what he says about others, than you can by what others say about him."

"It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our mistakes and errors and make amends for them. To make a mistake is an error in judgment but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character."

"When I have listened to my mistakes, I have grown."

"The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live".

"Life is simple. it's just not easy".

"Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that change our lives forever".
