Act 3

Chloe and I bought a dozen yellow roses to place at a dozen graves at the Washington Soldiers Home Cemetery in Orting this afternoon. That is the closest military cemetery to our home. It was a bit of a drive, but I knew we needed to do something for our fallen veterans. The cemetery is in a beautiful spot, and it is quite old. Many of the soldiers buried in this cemetery fought in the Spanish-American War and World War I. I can’t even imagine what those families had to go through. No emails. No phone calls. Maybe a letter every few months. I hate having my husband gone for 12-15 months at a time, but at least we have phone calls and emails. I can’t imagine the pain and heartache they must have endured over their time apart.
