little red bench

I took some time out today. A little longer lunch than usual. Got a sandwich and sat in the park. We have this beautiful park in town with a giant pond with fountains, geese, ducks, seagulls, a Japanese garden and wonderfully kept! Got some nice photos of the area, beautiful fallyellow treees, and tonight I gorgeous sunset. However, I chose this photo. I've been to this park many times in my short time living here. I've even snapped photos of this very bench with my daughter and her friend, then again when my sister was down. Today is the first day I noticed the plaque. Right next to the little red childs bench. I will look at this bench with different eyes from now on. The plaque read......

Remembering with love,
our brave, bright, beautiful girl,
we will try to "be so, so nice!"

May you always wear Red.

Made me realize while I'm always on the lookout for the great photo op, I need to not only stop and smell the roses but also to stop and read the plaques
