52 Blessings - Week 17

Each year, 25 April marks a special day on the Australian calender - ANZAC day. It is a day where we remember those who served in WWI at Gallipoli to protect our country. The original ANZACs are dwindling in numbers, however the spirit lives on in those who remember them. My own grandfather was not an ANZAC, being only a toddler at the time of WWI. It wasn’t until WWII that he was conscripted to serve his country. He returned from the war safely, although what happened and what he had seen, we will never know as he never spoke of it to us. He and my grandmother have since passed and I have happy memories of them both.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

LEST WE FORGET
