11th Anniversary of my father dying. - Found his grave and overcame my grief of losing him after all that time. Laid a Single Rose on his headstone. Shed many a tear. Miss him dearly, always with me in happy memories.

Military Funeral for Marine (D), Facing my own work colleagues after losing my Career 8 months ago. Facing the accusing glances with my head held high for once. Demons well and truly laid to rest there.

Invited to a Firework Display, Since my breakdown I struggle greatly with large crowds, especially those with lots of noisy voices. A cause of many a panic attack in recent history. Dealt with.

100th Anniversary of World War one, Remembrance day parade. To my shame I have not attended or Marched much since I left HM Armed Forces. Well tomorrow I shall !
For myself:- a sense of pride, I may have been left Traumatized but I was proud to wear that Uniform. Proud to serve my Queen and Country.
For my Father :- In respect for a Dad who I always knew I could depend on, a man who religiously sold Poppy's every year for Remembrance Day even though he could never serve himself due to crippling disabilities.
For both my Grandfather's :- In respect for their service in the Second World War. Both Honorable and forthright men. An inspiration to me my whole childhood
For Marine (D) :- A man who taught me hugely, A Royal Marine who dedicated his life to serving others, Queen, Country, and the Common Man. A man who would give his shoes if someone needed them.
I was honored to receive your Clan Thistle and Tartan Ribbon at your funeral Brother (D) and I shall wear it with Pride and as a mark of respect in Honour of You old friend. I Salute you.
As my Status says, 'Never more a victim, I am a fighter!'
I fought and survived a broken childhood and came through fighting, I have so far fought my entire life. I never bloody caved in then and I sure as hell won't cave in now.
We will remember All, who have fallen in battle during 2 World Wars, Numerous, too many to list, abroad and at home since 1914.
I make no apologies for being ever so slightly Patriotic at this moment in time.
Laurie.
