I missed last year's Remembrance Day Service in Richmond Hill as I was with my grandchildren babysitting.
So taking my camera I parked at the Richmond Hill Library and walked to the Cenataph to get a seat.
The Service is always the same. Same hymns. Same poems. But being a Remembrance Day service that is okay.
I left my camera in my purse. I even did not want to take any photos on my phone.
I had pictures of the military banners on Yonge Street already.
Just a few of the many along the street.
One has more meaning.
Matthew Dinning was from Wingham but his grandparents live in Richmond Hill. Each year they place a wreath in his honour and for those that served in Afghanistan. He was 23.
I saw them after the service and stated always remembering your beautiful grandson. Then I simply said I have grandsons and couldn't imagine. A simple exchange between grandparents.
Always remembering my family members that all came home from the wars they served for Canada.
So not a day for photos but just quiet reflection.
