I wish today was happier

Today my gpa bought a bunch of flowers and we all drove around to the cemeteries and put them on veteran's graves. I could tell gpa wanted to cry a few times. We listened to some of his stories while we drove around. It was interesting but sad at the same time. I got watery eyes when gpa told us that someday we'll be putting flowers on his grave. I don't want to think about that 😥 After today I think I'm going to bed early tonight. Happy veteran's day everybody and thank you to all veterans ❤❤❤

A little late but what a delightful post! It probably means so much to him that you gave your time to be with him on that special day. Even I feel a little choked up imagining an older gentleman walking among the graves and placing flowers of the graves of vets. The military means a lot to and I think your gpa is proud of you! Happy New Year to you and your gpa. God bless him.
