Graves are cared for and visited; that's why it bothers me not to be able to visit my parents or my son's graves more often. But the older I get, the less appealing long car rides are.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-84765448758944604892017-06-04T20:08:28.954-04:002017-06-04T20:08:28.954-04:00I will, Bbj!

Our family always went to the parade then had a picnic lunch at St John church yard, south of Union on hwy 219, across from the Indian Creek covered bridge. After our picnic we cleaned the family graves in the cemetery & put out fresh flowers. <br /><br />We visited at other times as well. It always meant a lot to my mother & grandmother to go there. My mother grew up on a farm just over the ridge from the church, behind the covered bridge. <br /><br />I left Monroe county in 1984 & have only been to the graves a handful of times since then. I think the family graves are rarely visited now. It saddens me some but I think visiting the graveyard is for the living, not the dead. It's a way to remember & still show love. <br /><br />Now I visit the little graveyard a few miles from house to walk. It's probably where I'll be buried someday since I've lived here fo 30 yrs & my son is settled here.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-16437121629273846592017-06-03T07:16:13.741-04:002017-06-03T07:16:13.741-04:00Your blogs are interesting and thought provoking-h...Your blogs are interesting and thought provoking-how difficult to lose a child-my husband did-takes a strong person to survive- please write more about your life moving to WEst Virginia and perhaps growing up!!!Bbjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414342162069913522noreply@blogger.com
