lest we forget

tomorrow is anzac day

i won't make the dawn service, but i'll try and get to the mid-morning one at the domain, and pay respect to grandad's brother, whose name is carved in the memorial in the museum

i sometimes wonder what would have happened if he'd made it home. we could have had a whole bunch of cousins.

i've also sent a donation to the hamilton rsa in dad's name.

  1. I agree. As I go tolder I began to realise that having little extended was relatively unusual and maybe even a blessing.

    You know, I keep meaning to go to Gallipoli for Anzac Day but have a slight fear of what a mob of Kiwis and Australians abroad would be like.
