I totally agree, Steph. I am always impressed by a well-tended cemetery. The let-go ones make me sad.

Also, it is sobering to stand before a grave, doing the math, and thinking about how many years that person walked the earth. Fun fact: Scott’s headstone does not have any dates.

We used to go to them in NZ because they were sort of like gardens where people happened to be buried. Nothing like the barren ones here in the US I keep seeing. They’re filled with trees, plants, bushes flowers and well cared for (well, most of them it seems). I heard a story the other day about a guy who went to go find a grave and had never been before and walked right up to it. I was hoping that’s what you were going to say! Strange, eh? It is sad to see younger folks who have lost their lives. You come away with a new appreciation for your own.

Wise words, Kathyrn. Cemeteries are peaceful. Now, didn’t you and my brother, James, meet near or in a cemetery on one of your first dates?

I love cemeteries, too, but I’d never visit in the dark. It’s nice to learn about people who have gone before us. It keeps them from being lost to time.
