On Memorial Day weekend we are to remember those soldiers, mostly young dreamers, who died fighting for what they believed in which was and still is the freedom that we all share in. We have the freedom to write anywhere, as long is it is not covering important warning signs like "sharp curve ahead" or "Danger : Cliff!"
In the Civil war many just lied and joined up at 15 or maybe younger. They are young children/adolescents with dreams of life after the fighting is over. They wrote their dreams in the letters to their families or on notes stuffed in their pockets. They are as young as 18 now going into the military.
Soldiers still write their dreams, here, on the Internet, where they could reach more people to insure that their dreams of their families growing up in a free country will come true.
We all have memorial dreams that are now memories. Mine are the dreams I had as a child to be grown up, then as an adolescent to teach, then as a teacher to teach better, then as an aunt to make my nephews and nieces have good memories, then as a daughter and sister, to make my family proud of me no matter how much I mess up. Another dream was and is to experience new things. I'm pretty sure owning guineas, chickens, Turkeys and goats counts! Now my dream is to write books so children will have fun learning and traveling in their country. My dream has always been to give children good memories and create good memories.
What are your Memorial Dreams?
