Implications and Relativity
Pause for thought indeed:
Just a note of interest - 90 years ago TODAY, Aug. 9th, 1918 your Grandad was wounded in the Battle of Hatchet Wood, part of the Battle of Amiens. But for a Medic, a Dr. Veitch, who saw a flicker of life in his lifeless body, & dragged him to medical help, none of us would be here at all! Gives pause for thought , doesn't it!!
(Great) Aunt Jane.
Let's see. Grandad & Nana's 5 kids including my dad and aunt Jane (+ their spouses). Myself, 3 siblings and our 12 cousins (+ all our spouses). Our generation's 22 kids (+ their partners). 10 more so far in the next generation with more on the way.
One life, one marriage can have quite an impact over time, can't it?

Wow. That does give one pause for thought.
G'dad had that bullet mounted and displayed on his desk as a reminder to be grateful for his life. Had it travelled just a fraction further.....
