Speechless with Emotion...
You saw the Veteran's Day post I made yesterday. This is the email I got beck from my grandfather, Leon Lafaille, World War II Veteran:
Thanks for the great tribute to our veterans and veterans everywhere. I pray that some day mankind can solve their differences in a humane and peaceful manner. May the future be blessed with love and we will not create any new veterans.
Love, Poppa
Ladies and Gentlemen, my grandfather has the most astounding way of cutting to the chase. I am sitting here in tears, because he has, with one sentence, summed up precisely how I feel about Veteran's Day.
I told him so, too. And I said that this uncanny ability of his must be what happens when people reach "Venerable Age." He is 91 years old.
.....just....wow.
I love him so much. Maybe now some of you can get a glimpse into why....
