Author's Notes

"Poppy seeds can lie dormant in the soil for years, emerging when they choose. The ground disturbed brought seeds to the surface, fertilized by nitrogen in the bombs, lime from destroyed buildings and the bodies of the fallen, they emerged in Flander's Field after all the devastation, showing that life can go on. Now the symbol of rememberance of those lost. A couple touched by the sacrifice of so many, decides not to wait until tomorrow to start a family."
