I know I have posted a lot about my mom lately but that is what is going on for me right. As I said before she had a huge group of online friends. Lots of them were friends before facebook. Anyway right after she passed away I received a really sweet message from an older gentlemen. Very sweet guy.
Yesterday I got another message from him, He is a WW1 Vet and is going to a ceremony this weekend to honor them. During the ceremony they light candles in memory of people, he asked if he could use his candle for my mom. He said if you don't want me to I would understand. I thought that was very kind thing to go for someone you never even met in real life before.

That is sweet. Is he a WWII vet? I don't know that there are any living WWI vets left.

I didn't think there were any WW1 vets still alive. WW1 is celebrating 100 years this year. (the beginning not the end)
