MEME

1. What's your favorite holiday song? Silver Bell's
2. What's your favorite holiday tradition? Spending time with family and just enjoying their company.
3. If you could travel one place with an elderly family member where would you go? I wish I could bring my grandfather back and have him take me England to visit his hometown and the go to where he fought in WWII. I would end it with a trip to Vimy Ridge.
4. What questions would you ask? I would ask him what were his thoughts leaving a small baby boy (my dad) and a pregnant wife behind? How was he able to fight for 5 years and never meet his youngest child? Did it bother him? I know he fought for the Canadian Army to repay the Country for allowing him to come here from England as a young teenager as it he felt it was the least he could give back.
5. What is a non-tangible gift have you received from an elderly relative? My keen intrest in the Army and the World Wars and all the memories that my grandfather has given me!
6. What is the best/worst/strangest gift you've received from an elderly relative? I honestly can't think of anything.
