[Leica] Mother's Day This Year

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

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.
