Visit his bday before all saints day

Just before the All saints day, I went to pay him a visit. But I didn't stay long because it was sunny as I went on the afternoon. I almost didn't go because my brother was supposed to come here but he didn't. Now, all saints day they think of going, it's going to be a terrible traffic. Have you visited your deceased family member, specially on their birthday? If my Grandpa wasn't a smoker then he would have reach 100 yrs old today.

I used to go with my grandmother to the cemetery with flowers when I was a child.

Plenty of smokers lived until 90s or something. I read the bio of some old actors and were amazed. How have you been?

Bringing flowers and food offerings I go to church usually on their birthday and special occasions like Thanksgiving. I try to get their favorite flowers if it's in season and I can afford it. It's nice to remember them even when they have passed away. I hope someone remembers me when I'm gone to heaven too, don't you?

I bought small flower but it's the one from our garden @oahuwriter I think as long as you're in heaven that matters. It's hard when you die and you get stuck on earth when no one remembers you nor prays for you.

@Letranknight2015 It's that you remembered and did bring flowers that matters than where you got the flowers. It would be sad indeed if no one remembers you when you pass.

I think it is important to take some time to remember your loved ones, but not so much when you do it...
