"i embrace the fall"
i don't know if it's a weird cultural thing, but my family spent a LOT of time at cemeteries when i was growing up. actually i know it's not, because day of the dead exists. and japanese people have ceremonies at grave sites. my hindu friend in junior high brought photos of her dead grandfather in india in to school. that was a bit bizarre. (ignore my fractured train of thought, i'm only halfway through a coffee.)
my grandfather was buried within walking distance of their house. gram would go and plant flowers, visit him, etc. most weekends i'd go with her. the eeriest part of the cemetery was the children's section. even before my sister was diagnosed with childhood cancer, going as a kid near dead kids freaked me out.
now when i'm on vacation in europe i almost always end up taking photos of graves. so goth...
"although you hit me hard
i come back..."
