Remembering My Uncles

Happy Saturday my friends.

They offered triple time  

for us to work this weekend.

I need the time off, so decided not to.

I actually took yesterday off,

so Bob could redo 

our raised vegetable garden beds.

I worked our gift shop.

It was nice to see 

so many come out to support us,

Unfortunately it rained in the afternoon,

so he was not able to finish.

I am off to work the store again,

so he can finish.

We need to plant the veggies we bought.

Today my post is to remember

my two great uncles who both 

were killed in World War II.

They were my gramma B's

only two brothers.

Because they both died,

my grammas surname of Osiwala

is now a dead name in our family.

Gramma B's brothers were both older than her.

She was the first of the 5 girls

to be born after them.

I sure wish I could have got to know them.

My gramma NEVER spoke of them to me.

I know it was hard on her to lose them both.

This Memorial Day,

please remember our fallen soldiers,

whomever they may be.

They sacrificed their lives,

so we can be free.
