I really like this "version".<BR/><BR/>Nowadays, families are spread all over the world. The traditional family grave in your native village is hardly possible anymore.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024294080108212018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-88333000480835185232007-05-28T14:47:00.000-05:002007-05-28T14:47:00.000-05:00It's good to pay tribute to our family who've pass...It's good to pay tribute to our family who've passed on.

French graveyards are too mineral in my opinion. To read names and first names of members of your family is touching.alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178479347468393057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-72400386173531950642007-05-28T10:34:00.000-05:002007-05-28T10:34:00.000-05:00A beautiful way to homage your family.A beautiful way to homage your family.sonia a. mascarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415359150944729620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-91995412111399780792007-05-28T09:32:00.000-05:002007-05-28T09:32:00.000-05:00A wonderful tribute to your family...may their sou...A wonderful tribute to your family...may their soul rest in peace.<BR/><BR/>As far as some of queries on my site, I have answered them earlier and still once again, I do write poems & sometimes by seeing the photos only, a poem comes to mind & as far as the film Namesake is concerned, I haven't managed to catch it yet, which has become quite popular in my city also and will try to view it soon. The book is also a lovely one.Kalyan Panjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806730473428069202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-11239876119748516032007-05-28T08:05:00.000-05:002007-05-28T08:05:00.000-05:00Before her death my grandmother asked my mother fo...Before her death my grandmother asked my mother for one thing only - that she not be forgotten. My mother, of course, could never forget her mother. Each year she drives long distances to place flowers on my grandmother's grave (and on the graves of other relatives and friends buried in that town). But she remember her mother every single day.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273873865160002759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-69067434196834810832007-05-28T06:55:00.000-05:002007-05-28T06:55:00.000-05:00I took photos of gravesites too for my family hist...I took photos of gravesites too for my family history a few years ago.

I know what I think when I see those of my family. And I have mixed emotions about my nephew's grave (he was killed in the Vietnam war), but I think it might have something to do with my discovery that I am not immortal and my stone will mark a spot for me in the not too distant future. The calendar of life runs out for everyone and these memorial days are not really as welcomed, by me, as they once were.<BR/><BR/>The good news:<BR/><BR/>The three baby robins are on their way to "Meet the World." I miss them already. It was quite an emotional experience for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-62657557834807665792007-05-28T03:55:00.000-05:002007-05-28T03:55:00.000-05:00hi Kate!!!
