This week commenced with Remembrance Day - a day that has always meant a great deal to me. My grandfather was a part of the Royal Canadian Navy and he shared war stories with me before his death in 2004. And working at McMaster, I am also surrounded by beautifully moving stories like this one:

I'm often left wondering why we don't take time to hear the important stories, everyday - not just November 11th. Everyone has a story after all...
And that leads me to wonder in turn, if grief is compounded if we forgot to listen during lifetime?
