FFfAW-Remember When?

Do you remember when you were 5 and I was 3 and we would go to the lake park and sit on the bench watching the swimmers?

Do you remember when you would take your little boat and put it in the water and I would giggle with glee?

Do you remember when we would get into a brotherly quarrel and you would always end up comforting me and drying my tears?

Do you remember going into the Navy and being stationed in the Persian Gulf?

Brother, you returned in a pine box. I will always and forever remember you.

FFfAW-Reflection

As I watch the golden orb of the sun sinking into the earth I realize my life too is coming to an end. Maybe tomorrow, maybe twenty years from now but each day brings me closer to that day and I realize how important each day is.

I realize how important it is to cherish each person in your life and to reach for deeper and more meaningful relationships. Friends become special. Family members become more loved.

As I watch this day come to an end, I realize the old me is ending and the new me is just beginning.

 

Thank you Footy and Foodie for our photo prompt this week!

Special Challenge in Memory of Barbara Beacham

As most of you know by now, Barbara Beacham, the lovely host of “Monday's Finish the Story” flash fiction challenge, passed away from cancer, on Sunday, November 22.

Because she was a beacon for many of us, several people have asked that a flash fiction challenge be done in her honor and in her memory. This is a 'special' challenge and does not replace the normal weekly challenge which will be posted as normal.

I have searched pixabay images for an appropriate photo and selected these photos. You may write about anything you wish, it doesn't have to be about what is in the photo/s. I just ask that, in some way, you honor the memory of Barbara Beacham.
