Thanks, Philippe. I'm trying to get past the teary-eyed stage. Just
posting it helps.

Same feelings here as expressed by Chris Jim.
The second plate reminds me of my grandfather, who had carved his name and year of
birth in stone - He had also carved the year of his death, which he changed every
year, except on the fatal year…
Back to the photo, it is a very powerful one Jim. Perfect processing to
highlight what matters i.e. the fond memory of the loved one.

That deserved a little time of contemplation, Jim; It’s a beautiful photo of a
special place. Thanks for showing us.
I was very sorry to read that your wife had died. I wish you well, chum.

I have always admired Nathan's faithfulness in visiting the graves of his
parents. This year, after losing my wife at the end of February, it was a race
against time and the weather to get a marker and flowers in place by Mother's
Day. Today, with three days to spare, I finished the task.

There is quite a difference in the imposing markers and statuary that Nathan
captures on his visits, and the simple, easy maintenance designs of a modern,
rural cemetery. But, it is close at hand, and contains a lot of friends and
acquaintances that I recall as I walk about. And it is perpetually maintained.
Donna has joined two other family members whom she loved very much. And all
the kids have to do when I'm gone is to add a date plate.
