I love Cemetaries!

We are visiting my parents on their LDS mission in Independence, Missouri.  We arrived late last night and it was pitch black.  We went in to their apartment and went to bed.  Early this morning I took my dog out to the bathroom and was so shocked to see that right across the street is a beautiful cemetery.  

This cemetery is very old and has graves from the early 1800's.  We took a wonderful walk through the cemetery on this beautiful Thanksgiving morning.  I was so touched to see the respect given to the deceased's grave.  Many families have added new headstones for the family area.  I also noticed that when the headstones break or tip over they leave them where they fall.

Hear is a picture of a old stone that is almost tipped over.

Here is one that has broken off.

Here is one that has been fallen for awhile.

I love and respect my ancestors and love to see a beautiful cemetery.

I am so thankful on this beautiful Thanksgiving day for my family.  I love them so much.
