Allerheiligen..
..which brings me here: yesterday i went to the RK cemetary. i had not been there before, it was, well, different from the ones i visited.
there was a rather large part just for baby graves and this was one that caught my eye. this boy was born and died in 1946, my own birth year, so if he had been living he'd be almost 60.. but instead he died and someone, his mother? his sister? is still burning candles on his grave and leaving flowers.. someone has done so for 60 years!
that amazes me..
and i said an Ave Maria for him, and for others.. though i'm not RK, but i happen to know the words..
and this is my contribution to All Saints.. :)
