Today I resolve to......... ?
Today I resolve to..........appreciate my family more. After no contact with my soul mate whilst he was trecking the Kokoda Track, I had time to realize how amazing he is, and how much I perhaps take him for granted. Well Done on your incredible journey. Many of us know not much of the incredible story of
Kokoda , which is such a significant part of the history of Australia. I must confess I was guilty of this. Through my husbands preparation for his trip to walk the track I have learnt a little more of a bloody battle fought and won against all odds that saw 6000 Australian casualties and out of a force of 20000 Japanese, 13000 lost their lives. The tack is walked by many today as the history of what took place there is remembered and honored. The track for the most part is in jungle and vertical. which only reinforces the determination of those that fought there, and of the amazing fuzzy wuzzy angels .
What a special trip for your hubby and thank you for reminding us about this partof our history.

Sounds like he walked a pilgrimage... is there some family history connected to this? Many of us are the sons and daughters of those in the war, at some time I think its important to see what they must have seen.
And dont we just love our loved ones more when they go? I often go faway for work to discover my gorgeous one has made some amazing art, cleaned the house and put fresh sheets on the bed to welcome me home. Sounds like you are lucky too.

The grave yard reminds me of Arlington National Cemetary here in the usa for people who served unfortunately in a war. My parents are in it.
