    Of course, the Diggers are supposed to be remembered, and I try to do that every year.

    But, its so hard. Considering 11.11 is my birthday, lol!!

    Remembrance day is a day where I say thanks to the men and women who do such an amazing job fighting for our rights and freedom and put themselves in danger day in day out for us.

    I also remember my dad who served 25 years in the armed forces.

    And, of course, I remember those that have fallen whilst serving our country, may they rest in peace.

    11.11 was the day my friend buried her baby daughter. So thats what I think of on Remembrance day. When we do our 1min silence at 11am I can't stop thinking of her funeral and the grief her parents went through.

    Obviously it's all about our soldiers, and all those we lost, but to us it's also our anniversary of starting dating. 8 years today.

    It's interesting isn't it? That is has such an impact with us all thinking of our armed forces and the sacrifices each serving man/woman and their families have made, but that it can also mean something else for each of us.

    Charlotte91 - Happy birthday!
