On this beautiful spring day, we pause to remember those who left ordinary places—front porches, family tables, fields, gardens, neighborhoods—and never returned home.
I always think there’s something comforting about the rhythm of seasons. Year after year, things bloom again. Trees leaf out. Birds return. The world quietly remembers.
Maybe that’s one way we honor people too. We tell their stories. We say their names. We plant something. We notice the beauty still unfolding around us and hold gratitude alongside grief.
Today I’m thankful for those who gave up their futures so the rest of us could keep tending ours.
Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day—and a moment to stand still in the sunshine and remember.
