Yesterday with friends visiting from Vancouver, we bundled up the kids and headed to the downtown cenotaph for the Remembrance Day service. We missed most of it (who can find a parking spot anywhere and isn’t the moment of silence to be observed at eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month?) but it was still very important to be there, good for our kids to be silent and somber, if only for a moment, to honour the sacrifice that provides them today with so much life.
