Graveyards

Do you visit the graves of dead relatives and friends?

My family has always kept flowers on headstones, but it has always seemed a little weird to me. 

I found myself beside the graveyard today while I had about half an hour to kill, so I went to see a friend’s grave, kind of just to see if I could still find it because it only has a small marker and kind of because he’s been on my mind. 

Anyway, I didn’t really know what to do once I found it, so I just hit my vape pen a few times. Seemed appropriate and kind of full circle since I used to skip high school to go flop around in his bed and smoke rollies.

Yes, and I always thought it was weird too. Planting flowers every year at like 12 different cemetaries in like 6 different cities across NE ohio in one miserable day. Why couldn't we just have a bbq like normal people?

No...I don’t....ive always viewed it as an oddly selfish thing to do...yeah you’re doing it as a form of remembrance to someone you loved and lost....but it’s something you’re doing for yourself...it’s not to the benefit of the dead...the dead don’t even know...they can’t appreciate the sentiment...I think of the people I loved often...I remember them...I talk about them...I carry them with me...so I don’t have the need to go to a stone with their name carved in it...that will eventually weather down to nothingness....

Spirits love to hang around cemetaries but thats beyond your comprehension and energy level (youre low energy)

Sure...it’s not that everyone deals with death and loss differently...cause that would just make sense...

When my Paternal Grandmother passed away, I asked my folks if we could go to my Sister's grave (she died before I was born).  It was something I felt I needed to do, but when we got there, I felt nothing.  I'm not sure what I was expecting to feel, and I'm not the type to think that souls who can go to the next existence are going to hang around here, but that wasn't it.
