The daily prompt asks – What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

This is a tough one because I like all holidays now. I worked a lot of holidays over the decades, and I grew very sick of it. So, I savor each one now.

Memorial Day is my favorite. It’s both a holiday of reflection and anticipation and family. I grew up with grandparents who served in WWI and parents who were part of WWII, Korea. I will always remember and respect the members of our armed services. And especially this day to those who gave their lives.

May is a month for remembering my family. I hope to go to Arlington National Cemetery this month to visit my parents. Flags In day is May 21st. That is a beautiful sight.

I like it because I remember what the holiday is for. Not just the kickoff of summer.
