These are my grandparents, Stella and Bill Davies. I miss them both a lot. My grandfather gave me the nickname my family knows me by (short for Candice). My grandmother fed an army… literally and figuratively. She cooked a meal any time someone drooped by for a visit. Food was her love language. There are so many things to remember and be thankful for.

This was their wedding photo, taken the day before my grandfather was deployed in the Second World War.

One thing I am thankful for is my freedom. My grandparents made sacrifices to make sure that their family could have a good life. Thank you.

Thank you to all our service people of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
