Now it is not often I post about something other than craft, but today is special.
Today is ANZAC day & I was lucky enough to have Mum & Dad visiting us in Roma.
The boys marched with Dad in the ANZAC Day parade.
Look how proud they are. (Dad is beside E)
I never thought I'd see the day we would all be in the same place to see Dad march & for the boys to march with him.
It was awesome & Mum and I shed a tear or two.
The boys were able to wear the medals of their Great-Great Grandfathers who both fought in WWI and WWII. E wore GG Grandfather Richer's medals & T wore GG Grandfather Blakey's medals.
They were proud and honoured to be permitted to march with these medals.
To all our service people. THANK YOU!!
Oh Debra, How special is that! A wonderful memory for them and also for your parents and boys!
