Your tombstone stands among the rest neglected and alone, the name the date have worn off the weathered marble stone. It reached out to all who care, it's not too late to mourn, you did not know that I'd exist you died....and I was born. Yet each of us are cells of you in flesh, in blood, in bone, our hearts contract and beat a pulse entirely not our own. Dear Ancestor, the place you filled some hundred years ago, spreads out among the ones you left who would have loved you so. I wonder how you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew, that someday I would find this place and come to visit you xx |

And I am cut to ribbons on these brambles. I have stubbed my toe on the grave of an unknown Frederick Brown, who obviously didn't like me. I have fallen between two gravestones and bumped my knee. And trousers are covered in mud. |

These quotations are great, and sum up what I feel about my ancestors. It's quite a strange feeling when you manage to find a gravestone of an ancestor. I found that of my 4th great great grandparents, and returned later to leave them flowers and a message. |
