Visited The Cemetery

Tweet

This afternoon was not raining although it was overcast. My aunt, cousin and I went to the cemetery to visit the grave of my mother. We cleaned the graveyard of my mother before putting the flowers we brought from her and now my garden in the flower vase. The 3 of us just talked for a while about everything. Then we prayed after lighting the 3 candles we brought with us. The 3 of us are not so religious. Each one of us just prayed in silent. After our prayers, we locked the "house" of my mothers grave. I don´t know how it is called, maybe mausuleum? Anyway, I checked if it was really locked and found out that the cement wall was broken and that there must be someone who went inside and slept there. Now I wonder if the graveyards in your country have roofs and walls. I mean, in the Philippines, people who can afford build a small house where the grave is inside it and locked. Some even put toilet inside. Weird, isn´t it? In Germany the dead in their coffins are buried under the ground and above the graves, flowers are planted. How is it in your place? Talking of cemetery, it´s almost Halloween
