candygrammeI don't usually get personal, but I am feeling particularly emotional today.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
I wish the image were bigger, but I couldn't find a bigger one. I am posting this in memory of Squadron Leader F. J. Gow. Rest in peace, Dad. I miss you so much.

Crowley's scruff was.... unexpected!! The dude is getting rough :) I wish the Winchesters could get scruffier too for that matter (and shorten those side-fucking-burns, Sam!

Cue the spooky music!

Date: 2011-11-12 05:24 am (UTC)We had two minutes silence at the shopping centre I was shopping in yesterday. It was veryyyy moving since there was a military last post bugle call and parade of old WW2 veterans, there's less and less of them taking part every year. Some people in the crowd were crying and everyone applauded the veterans.

My Dad was a veteran who marched on Remembrance day until he died last year. It really came home to me today. I'm glad that people do remember. They should.

I tried to get him to tell me more through the years but he kept his own counsel on these things.
Yes, missing my dad too, dear lady.
