Some of us don't forget

Sorry that my poppy is covered in cat hair. At my father's place nearly everything is covered in cat hair, if that counts as an excuse.

Cat hair or no, the meaning's still there.

I have my own reasons for thinking that this day is important. I hope you have yours, and that even if you're treating it as just another day off you take at least a moment or two to think of all of the people who are commemorated in a simple plastic poppy.

And I also hope that you're as sad as I am to see the Silver Cross Mothers getting younger and younger...

In a perfect world they'd be extinct. I think we should be trying harder to make that happen.
