First year that I have not woken up screaming or weeping. I think it may be that it snook up on me. I hope it is that time is helping. Hearing a truck beep as it backs up, or smelling plastic (kind of like walking into Staples) sets me off. I try not to think of it, but this time of year there are usually shows on TV about it, and we take part in putting out 2,977 flags each year along the length of the key. As long as I do not concentrate on a face, or specific people I ran into that day I can get through it without the harsh emotions. It is becoming ancient history to kids. Perhaps that is not a totally bad thing.
