Stories that need telling
A time to remember, to honor, to respect, to reflect.
Maybe you don’t know anyone who has died from Coronavirus.
Media tells us many or a high percentage are in Rest Homes.
They are numbers, statistics, unimportant as a group.
Too old to have any value, perhaps just a burden on society.
Yet, who are these people? Do they have a story?
They are parents, grandparents, great grandparents.
They helped build our country, contributed to our economy.
They created, they invented, they labored.
They gave us opportunity, they taught us, they entertained us.
They fed us, they nursed us, they educated us.
They fought battles for us, they sacrificed for us.
They have names.
They have stories.
They are the foundation we stand on today.
Ask about them, get a name, get a story and tell it.
