Beautifully stated, Barb. I, too, wonder and worry how people dealing with illness can’t be physically in contact with family and friends. Heartbreaking. Wishing you and your family a special day of remembrance, for Ed, and for all of us who appreciate what Memorial Day means. In gratitude to those who fought and continue the fight to protect our country every day.

Thank you for your post. I have thought many times about the extreme isolation endured by so many especially in causes similar to Ed and those in care facilities.
