I graduated from college 10 years ago today!!! What the heck? Where did all that time go? And when did I become a grown up? I still feel like I am playing life....

hey Dana-just to let you know that the Alied forces stepped from the ship ontot he shores of Gillipoli (in Turkey) It is the most emotional place to visit when you realise how many lives were needlessly lost. There is an huge plauge that stands there looking out to the narrow water passage.
The Memorial of Anzac Cove says; commemorating the thousands of lost Turkish and Anzac soldiers in Gallipoli.
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives… you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets where they lie side by side here in this country of ours… You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
—Atatürk
when you realise those young men came from NZ to die needlessly on those Turkish shores it is incredibly sad.
