I am so much with you on this one. I was raised in a culture where cemeteries were a no-go-zone… a place to be feared because you are disturbing the dead, their ghosts might haunt you or any other scary thing that they could come up with. I later got married to an Austrian, and during our times in Austria we visited various cemeteries…..and I was blown away, the flowers, the inscriptions, some even with brief stories about the person lying underneath…ah so beautiful! Still to this day whenever I am in Austria, I pass by the cemeteries when I am going for my long walks….I even took some photos which I really value. I have enjoyed reading this piece. And I am glad to know that there are people out there who share the same sentiments. Great work Ramona!
