Where is the rain??

One of the most significant absences that i noticed on Memorial Day is the rain. My father told me during the weekend that it has rained on 19 of the past 23 Memorial Days, which i thought was pretty nuts! My father told me that he thinks its kind of fitting that it rains so much on Memorial Day because of all the fallen soldiers and how it is very depressing. Rain is rather depressing weather and on Memorial Day it makes us think more about the men and woman who put their life on the line and died. Without nice weather, we do not feel as much happiness as we would if it was sunny and nice outside. So on this Memorial Day, which was absolutely beautiful, it felt a little different. I still tried to take a few moments out of my day to ponder about the people who served for our lovely country. I am very thankful for the life I live, and I have to partly thank the veterans.
