The cemetery was somewhat of a surreal experience. The moment we entered through the gates it began to rain which filled the air with a sense of eeriness. Walking around it was crazy to see all the gravestones stacked on top of one another, some even eroding due to tree roots that had grown underneath.
Even though many of the gravestones were interesting to look at visually, it was also interesting to read what was on the actual gravestone. A feeling of sorrow would take over when you realize a child merely 20 days old was taken from this earth and buried alongside its mother who died just a few years later.
It instantly reminded me that life could end at any moment and I truly felt blessed to be in good health alongside good friends.
