🦎 Today we shine a light on one of nature’s most fascinating creatures—happy National Iguana Awareness Day! With their calm demeanor and ancient beauty, iguanas remind us that life comes in many forms, each with its own rhythm and grace.

At Rone Funeral Service, we believe in honoring all life—human and creature alike. Whether it’s the quiet companionship of a pet or the wonder of wildlife, these connections enrich our stories and bring comfort in unexpected ways.

🌿 Respect for life. Curiosity for nature. Gratitude for the journey.

“It’s hard to tell how the celebrations of National Iguana Awareness Day came about, but it is safe to assume that the day is observed to help pet owners learn more about how they can take care of their pet iguanas and ensure a healthy life. This day is celebrated by iguana owners and by everyone who has a keen interest in these reptiles.
Iguanas are fascinating creatures, they are cold-blooded reptiles with an amazing active tail, but annoy them a little bit and you might end up with an awful bite. Iguanas are native to South and Central America. Iguanas didn’t always exist in America, it is believed that they came to the country on cargo boats. Over the years the iguana population rapidly multiplied and they are now commonly seen in the Florida Keys as squirrels in the Midwestern U.S.! Even though they have existed in America for a long time now, these cold-blooded colorful reptiles are not safeguarded from hunting or pet collection. Many Florida residents have taken these iguanas to their homes and turned them into pets. While the iguana owners may be well-intentioned, not all new owners of these baby iguanas realize that a tiny iguana will one day develop scales and grow to a length of six feet! Iguanas need special care since they have very specific dietary needs. It is easy to love an iguana and even introduce young children to it, but taking care of these cold-blooded colored reptiles is no easy feat.”

🌬️💜 Today is World Cystic Fibrosis Day—a day to honor the courage of those living with CF, remember the lives lost, and support the families who walk this journey with unwavering love.

At Rone Funeral Service, we’ve witnessed the quiet strength of individuals and families affected by cystic fibrosis. Their resilience, hope, and deep bonds remind us that every breath is a gift—and every life is a story worth celebrating.

🕊️ To the children, teens, and adults who faced CF with grace, and to the loved ones who stood by them—we remember you today with admiration and tenderness.

💛 Because love is stronger than any diagnosis—and remembrance keeps their spirit alive.

“Worldwide Cystic Fibrosis Day is commemorated on September 8th to raise awareness about this disease. This type of disorder damages the lungs, digestive tract, and other organs, affecting cells in charge of producing mucus, digestive liquids, and sweat. Its first report dates 1938 when the pathologist Dr. Dorothy Andersen found how malnourished children were dying. Today, babies born with cystic fibrosis have high chances of living well, and life expectancy has improved immensely”.

📖🌍 Today is International Literacy Day—a celebration of the written word and the transformative power of learning, storytelling, and shared wisdom.

At Rone Funeral Service, we believe that every life is a story worth telling. Through letters, journals, poems, and cherished memories, literacy helps us preserve legacies, express love, and find comfort in reflection.

🕊️ To the teachers who inspired, the loved ones who read bedtime stories, and the individuals whose words still echo in our hearts—we honor you today.

💛 Because literacy isn’t just about reading—it’s about remembering, connecting, and keeping stories alive.

“International Literacy Day is a United Nations holiday observed every year on September 8. The day was created to highlight the importance of literacy, as well as to raise awareness of the literacy problems that impact around 771 million adults and children around the world.
International Literacy Day also encourages governments to take action to improve their country's literacy rates”.

🖖🌌 Today is National Star Trek Day—a celebration of bold journeys, timeless characters, and the enduring hope that drives us to explore new frontiers.

At Rone Funeral Service, we honor the lives of those who inspired us to “live long and prosper,” whether through their love of sci-fi, their adventurous spirit, or their quiet wisdom. For many families, fandoms like Star Trek become part of cherished memories—movie nights, conventions, collectibles, and shared quotes that still bring a smile.

🕊️ To those we’ve lost who dreamed among the stars, we remember you with love and admiration. Your legacy lives on in every story told and every heart you touched.

💛 Because remembrance, like the universe, is vast—and love is the final frontier.

“Fans across the globe celebrate Star Trek Day on September 8 to remember the timeless legacy Star Trek has made on society and pop culture.
On September 8, 1966, a television series pilot known as Star Trek was introduced on American television. Aiming for an adult audience, this was the was the first time a scientific fiction series would explore morality through scientific narratives. Most movies or television shows would contain science but would often create conflict of suffering and injustice to solve problems. However, Star Trek was different. The series would put actors in the forefront making scientific arguments, while providing peaceful solutions to problems without using violence.”

🌤️🌿 Today is the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies—a global reminder of the importance of fresh air, clear skies, and the health of the world we share.

At Rone Funeral Service, we believe that honoring life also means caring for the environment that sustains it. Clean air is not just a gift for today—it’s a legacy for future generations. And in moments of reflection, a quiet breeze or a cloudless sky can bring peace, clarity, and connection to those we miss.

🕊️ To the loved ones who found joy in nature’s beauty, who breathed deeply under open skies, and who taught us to care for the world around us—we remember you today.

💬 Take a moment to step outside, breathe deeply, and reflect. Share a memory of someone who loved the outdoors or inspired you to live gently on the earth.

💛 Because remembrance is not only about looking back—it’s also about protecting what’s ahead.

“International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies on September 7 is observed to recognize the importance of clean air in our health and daily lives. Air pollution is the most serious single environmental threat to people’s health and one of the leading preventable causes of death and disease worldwide. Women, children, and the elderly are disproportionately affected by air pollution, which also has destructive effects on the environment. The day serves as a rallying cry to unite our efforts and assert our right to clean air.”

Today, on Superhuman Day, we celebrate the extraordinary strength found in everyday people. From caregivers and first responders to those quietly carrying heavy burdens with grace—true superpowers often look like compassion, resilience, and unwavering love.

At Rone Funeral Service, we are continually inspired by the families we serve and the quiet heroes among us. Whether lifting others in times of grief or showing up with kindness when it’s needed most, these acts of humanity are nothing short of superhuman.

💫 Here’s to the hearts that heal, the hands that help, and the spirits that never give up.

“Superhumans — and we’re not talking about the ones with hi-tech weapons in their metal suit or with the power to spin webs with their hands — live among us. We are talking about people with disabilities, who, with their hard work and persistence, navigated this tough world.
Superhuman Day was first celebrated in 2016. A media company, Channel 4, came up with an extraordinary idea to highlight the extraordinary athletes at the Summer Paralympic Games. During the Paralympics in 2016, Channel 4 decided to run a campaign that acknowledged these underrated superhumans and their amazing achievements.
Although the Paralympics started in 1948, people did not give it as much attention as they did to the Olympics. So, to change this mindset, Channel 4 started an ad campaign called ‘We are the superhumans’ The campaign presented 140 disabled people who were facing and trying to change the attitude of society towards them.
This is what this day is all about — to move away from and eradicate the stigma that is forced upon people with disabilities and treat them equally. Support those with disabilities in any way you can and do everything in your power to help them live peacefully in this amazing world. Moreover, anyone who faces and overcomes the challenges that they face in their lives is a superhuman. So, pat yourself on the back and go conquer the world!”

Happy National Pet Rock Day to all who’ve ever found comfort in the simplest things. Whether it was a googly-eyed companion on your desk or a quiet reminder of childhood whimsy, pet rocks remind us that connection can take many forms—even the unexpected.

At Rone Funeral Service, we honor the memories that make us smile and the keepsakes that carry meaning. Sometimes, it’s not about what something is—it’s about what it represents: stability, nostalgia, or just a little joy in a busy world.

Here’s to the little things that stay with us.

💬 Solid memories. Steady hearts. Timeless love.

“The pet rock was created by advertising executive Gary Dahl in April 1975. Each rock is a smooth stone picked from Mexico’s Rosarito beach. It was sold in a custom-made cardboard box complete with breathing holes and a straw. Die-cutting and manufacturing cardboard boxes represented the biggest production expense for Dahl. The stones were regarded as live pets and were marketed as such.
The inspiration behind this strange creation came from complaints from Dahl’s friends about the stress of caring for their pets. During a discussion in a bar, Dahl joked about keeping a rock as a pet. He emphasized the fact that rocks don’t require walking, feeding, treatment, or other necessities a live pet demands.
Dahl, however, didn’t stop at just wisecracking; he did them one better.
He went on to write a pet rock instruction manual, which included jokes and gags about how to “care” for the rock. The instruction manual was a popular addition to the pet rock itself, showcasing Dahl’s amazing sense of humor. The pet rock fad came to an end after a slight boom in sales during the festive season of 1975.
Gary Dahl made a tidy profit, selling over a million pet rocks before the eventual discontinuation in February 1976. At the time, each rock sold for $4, making it one of the most fascinating marketing schemes ever. If you were to consider the $4 in the context of today’s prices, each person would have to shell out $18 for each pet rock!”

Today is National Feel the Love Day—a gentle reminder to pause, reach out, and embrace the love that surrounds us. Whether it’s a kind word, a shared memory, or a quiet moment of presence, love is what gives life its deepest meaning.

At Rone Funeral Service, we witness love in its most powerful forms: in the stories families share, the tributes offered, and the bonds that endure beyond time.

So today, let’s celebrate love in all its expressions. Call someone. Hug someone. Remember someone. Feel the love—and let it ripple outward.

🌹 Love remembered. Love shared. Love felt.

“Nobody knows when or who came up with National Feel the Love Day but it sure is a noble concept! We all remember our first brush with love, especially of the romantic variety. It is usually experienced early in life and may not last for very long. Nonetheless, we remember the person and the feeling of joy it brought. Love, especially romantic love, can work as an elixir. It can rejuvenate our senses, give us a new lease on life, and inspire us to be better people. Romantic love can be richly rewarding too, in the sense that it teaches us to be empathetic and considerate of other people’s needs.
Love is also the greatest muse to artists. Painters, singers, writers, and poets have been inspired by this all-encompassing feeling. They have made timeless creations on romantic love but filial love, platonic love, love for nature, and love for God haven’t been left behind either. Almost all creative expressions have been inspired by some form of love. It is only natural to want to talk about the overpowering feeling of love in a creative manner. Artists in love have often created the best and the most classic creative works. We have so much we owe to love.
Added to that is love’s positive impact on our physical and emotional well-being. Love or the feeling of comfort can help alleviate our self-esteem, make us feel safe, and do wonders for our physical health. The feeling of love is known to keep our hearts healthy, boost our immune system, and even regulate blood pressure!”

👵👴 Honoring the Pillars of Our Families: Grandparents Day

Today we celebrate the wisdom, warmth, and unwavering love of grandparents—those who guide us with gentle hands and generous hearts.

At Rone Funeral Service, we are privileged to hear the stories of lives well lived: of lullabies sung, lessons passed down, and traditions lovingly preserved. Grandparents leave behind more than memories—they leave legacies.

Whether you're hugging your grandparents today or holding them close in spirit, may their influence continue to shape your life with grace and gratitude.

Happy Grandparents Day to all who nurture, teach, and love across generations.

“Grandparents and their grandchildren share a special bond. These hugging, caring and patient people in the lives of children offer more than a generous dose of love. Grandparents provide an abundance of wisdom. They also offer guidance and stability.
When grandchildren need a story, grandparents tell the best. A grandparent's wealth of family history and lore offers lessons of their own. Through humorous stories and some serious ones, grandparents gently point grandchildren in the right direction.”

🕯️ Because remembrance lives in every chapter, and love is the story that never ends.

📚🕊️ Today is Read a Book Day—a celebration of stories that comfort, inspire, and connect us across generations.

At Rone Funeral Service, we believe that every life is a story worth telling. Books have a way of helping us heal, remember, and reflect. Whether it’s a favorite novel shared with a loved one, a handwritten journal passed down, or a poem that brings peace in grief—words carry the power to preserve legacy and offer hope.

“National Read a Book Day falls on September 6 every year. It is a day for all book lovers to get lost in that novel that they've been wanting to read for a while, and it is also a day for those who don't usually read to give books a chance and get lost in the world of literature.
Books are great forms of escapism, allowing us to get away from our lives for a bit, but they are also crucial in helping us expand our knowledge and challenge our perspectives.
So, on Read a Book Day, turn off your TV, put your phone down away from you, and delve into a good book!”
