NoJoMo11 in NoJoMo15

I’m not going to do the prompt today.

My Grandfather whom I was never fortunate enough to meet died two weeks before the second Great War ended. My Mom only got to meet him once, at least that she remembered. She was only two, he was off on leave, he brought her with him to the barber shop. I am so grateful and thankful that he gave his life so we could live ours so freely compared to other places, but I really do wonder what my Mom’s life would have been like he had been there.

I truly hope that one day ‘war’ will be an antiquated word we only hear in history class or on Remembrance Day.
