Each year since returning to Canada full-time in 2007, I have counted the poppies I see people wearing from the day the poppy campaign begins until 11am on November 11th. I'd tally up the count, donate 0.10$ per poppy, and send a cheque to a local veterans organization.
It used to be a sizeable donation.
In recent years, I've noticed my poppy count decreasing. I worry sometimes that people have begun to forget the past. I worry that we will soon relive their horrors in our future.
I don't base my donation on poppy counts anymore. And I no longer wait until Remembrance day arrives to make them.
I am changing too. Hopefully, for the better.
