I am posting this for Memorial Day and I know I posted this before but this weekend it has special meaning. Tolkien was a veteran and the ideas he had in LOTRs very much apply. Remember the people that lost everything so that you can keep all of the things that you have. This weekend is not about parties and BBQs. “How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart, you begin to understand, there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep...that have taken hold...But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
