Memorial Day is a day to remember those who died serving our country. I think of Memorial Day as not only remember those who served our country, but all of those loved ones who have passed away. Every Memorial Day some of my family members go visit my uncle who passed away, at the age of 24, 7 years ago. Because he was SO close to me, Memorial Day is a remembrance of my uncle. I go visit his grave site and just think about the times we have spent together when I was younger. I try to imagine what life would be like if he were still alive today and the impacts he has made on my life. Though Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who served our country, for me it is a day of remembering my uncle and his impacts on my life.
