earthbelowWe went out weekend before last to the cemetery to walk and take pictures. Yes, we do have a morbid sense of fun.
But while we were there, we went to the spot where we put Nippy to rest. Her fake rock is still there, we checked. Hmm. It was kind of comforting. She is still under a nice tree where it is warm and there are probably a lot of mice.
There are some human beings who don't get that much when it comes time to be buried.
I think we build cemeteries more for ourselves than for the dead. I think we build them so we can tell ourselves that we put the people we love somewhere nice, that they're not all gone, just moved somewhere else. That way we don't have to let go all at once, we can let go by degrees.
