Over time, you notice different stones, you notice dates, stories.... There is one cemetery in particular I haven't been to in years but would love to visit again. No family there. Just want to see some of my "friends" again.<br /><br />Maybe that's strange, but there it is.

True love is the strongest thing in the Universe, nothing can come between it, break it, or destroy it. We love studying some of the greatest creations in the world for the sake of love, The Taj Majhal, and other great monuments. The Bible tells us that over and over that love is extremely powerful.

And reading your comment above, it sounds like you have some sleuthing to do.<br /><br />I once happened upon a pair of graves in a Massachusetts cemetery which belonged to a father and son who lost their lives when the Titanic sank. The graves were not pointed out in any way. And very understated at that. We clued in by the date, and by how one of them was "lost at sea."Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576713095937364949.post-9669743535923714762010-11-09T11:07:06.469-05:002010-11-09T11:07:06.469-05:00Gary...genius.Gary...genius.Linda Faheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659092543760868040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576713095937364949.post-57561814232448333202010-11-09T10:07:24.470-05:002010-11-09T10:07:24.470-05:00The photos are beautiful.
