I took this at one of the local graveyards this morning. Broke my heart, but at the same time it kinda reinforces it that sometimes love is everlasting:

My sister had a boyfriend, he was like my big brother and he was murdered when he was 18, I was 11 at the time.

To this day I make a point to go to his grave on his birthday and on his death date. I go throughout the year, but I just don't miss those 2 days. My sister still goes and his parents go too andthere might be a few others... but I know for certainty about us 4. It's funny because we all know the others have been there, yet we never see each other there. Sometimes, it's hard to believe he has been dead 27 years and he still has that kind of impact.

Some people may only be in your life for a moment, but they touch your heart for a lifetime.

btw... which cemetary?

The one in Lewes, between Rite Aide and the 9th Grade Campus. I pass it everyday and have for almost 6 years now and cant remember the name of it, how stupid is that???

I do that for my Mother's grave every year on her birthday and when she died. I take the birthday balloon and put a card on it and send it up in the air. When is disappears it is like she grabbed it out of the sky.

THANK YOU! I always feel SO bad that I cant get to Virginia to put flowers on my Daddys grave or even visit him. I have friends who change his flag and everything but it's not the same as doing it myself. Every year since I moved away I have felt so bad about not going there for his birthday, never went on his D-day. NOW I know a way I can do something from here! God, I'm sittin here bout in tears now, wondering why I hadnt thought of this before! Thank you so much!!
