On the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month; the guns fell silent.

Seems a busy year has almost passed and the old out of sight., out of mind has happened with my blog. Not many postings in 2022. 

But on this day, Remembrance Day 2022 I just wanted to say this....

In 1914 a 16 year old walked into the recruiting office in London, England and asked to join the army. The smiling recruiting officer asked him, "How old are you lad?" And the reply came, "I am sixteen sir!" And the recruiting officer said, "Come back when you are eighteen son."  And in the words of that sixteen year old, 'I walked around the quadrangle and came back to the officer, I am  eighteen now sir. And he said, fill in this form, sign here and here is your shilling."

That young man was Ronald Bell Taylor, my father in law to be. And so a sixteen year old went to World War one and eventually came home in 2019, a twenty one year old man. His younger sister told me some thirty years ago how the entire family (he was one of ten children) all rushed to the railway station to welcome home a "man of the world."   He always told his son Mark that "war changes men." Sadly Ron died before I met Mark, so I never came to meet this man. He spent a lot of his life ensuring that others who did not fare so well were taken care of. Service before self was his moto.

At the Spirit of Life it is with honour that we take care of veterans plus their wives and widows every day. Breast cancer doesn't discriminate, even those who serve can be affected.

So on this remembrance day Mark and I always think of the sacrifices our men and women in uniform made in the past and continue to make to ensure we all sleep safely in our beds at night.

Lest we forget.
