Remembrance Day (for my mum)

Let us remember not just those who fought on the front line so many years ago, let us remember their mothers who died giving them life, and their wives, who died giving them children. Let us remember not just the valiant acts of courage those soldiers committed every day, but also the courage it took for the mothers to raise their children in wartime.

Let us not forget that history repeats itself.

And let us not forget that women have been warriors too, in peacetime as well as in war.
