Hi! It’s me! Lily!
It’s Friday!
And it’s Veteran’s day!!!
I’m… still not entirely sure what that means. I mean, I know what it means, but I don’t know what it means, y’know? I guess there are people who fought in wars, and now they’re not fighting in wars anymore. Or something.
It seems to mean a lot to Dave though.
Every year he puts a flag up outside and just stands there and looks at it for a bit.
I don’t think he was in the military. He’s never said he was, and the story Sabby said about how they met and got married didn’t say anything about that. But I guess he knew people who were.
I haven’t met many veterans, that I know of. I’ve seen videos of them with missing arms and legs and stuff. That sucks. Dave says “war is hell” and I guess it is. I hope we never have to deal with that, like the people in Ukraine and Russia. I’ve heard stories about World War 2, and they’re awful.
What a depressing topic. But I guess that’s what today is for.
Anyway, some of the girls are over tonight, and I went over to Liz’s. That’s where I am now. Her family got pizza (they don’t usually like food like that but they have a treat sometimes). We’re about to turn in. Oh, Liz is still dating her boy!!! They’re getting along fine!!! She even kissed him a bit!!!
She’s blushing! Hahaha!!!
