Memorial day is about remembering those that died in combat. I want to share a poem I wrote when my grandfather died as part of this memorial day series. He was a veteran but his combat was lost here at home and for me Memorial day is a day of remembrance. The following was read at his funeral: Such a Man By Amanda Russ Some men patiently sit and let their granddaughters fix their hair with combs and barrettes and all I am blessed to know such a man Some men stand for hours holding a little girl on their shoulders so she can see her favorite soap star I am blessed to know such a man Some men take their grandchildren fishing and make tents out of blankets and sticks to keep them warm I am blessed to know such a man Some men read bible stories to their granddaughters every night I am blessed to know such a man Some men stay married to the same woman for 56 years I am blessed to know such a man Some men are warriors who look every diagnosis in the face and say “I can beat that!” I am blessed to know such a man Some warriors are quietly called home I am blessed to have known such a man.
