Old Cemeteries

  As strange as it seems, my late mother loved cemeteries.

She enjoyed walking around and reading verses and biographical information on headstones.

 She did this even when traveling outside the country. 

The cemetery was one of the first places she asked to visit!

Granted, there is something extremely interesting in reading headstones, particularly old ones.

 However, when cemeteries start to disintegrate and stones are left to lean or crumble onto the ground, it makes me very sad.

After all, each stone represents a human being who once walked this earth.  

Every tombstone deserves to be treated respectfully and the person it represents remembered.

 The cemetery photographed in this post needs work. 

While I would not particularly want to walk through a cemetery alone at night,  my vote goes to keep graves clean and cared for.
