You have heard the saying, "Gone but not forgotten."


Well memorial day is coming up and I thought
I would write a post about it.
I drove by this cemetary and it hit me like a ton of bricks!
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!


Could it be that these people's family and friends have also pasted on?
Is that why the grass grows and the stones lean and the stones are not cleaned?
They just don't have anymore relatives and friends to take care of their memories?

Or are they the forgotten few?
Is life really just a whisper in time?
Could life really be that sublime?
What ever happened to perpetual care?
Where are the towns and villages , why are they not caring for these cemetaries?


On this memorial day weekend, lets not let our loved ones,
 family and friends be among the forgotten.
Lets really put the words into the saying
"Gone  .... and ..... NOT FORGOTTEN!"
