You are the best mom!<br /><br />I can see why you would be uncomfortable visiting cemeteries, if they all look as crowded and forlorn as the one in the picture. I am fortunate that my deceased relatives are in a very beautiful cemetery-- it is almost like a parkland, with a pond, swans, a fountain, colorful trees, sculpture. Its a very beautiful and peaceful place. I don't think I'd be so comfortable visiting a cemetery like the one pictured, it would feel creepy, I imagine. But I'm glad you were able to go for Lucas' sake, and now that his curiosity is satisfied, perhaps you won't have to worry about going back any time soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-80819156184323401932009-11-04T14:32:24.369-02:002009-11-04T14:32:24.369-02:00Wow!

Both my grandparents are burried just outside of town and I feel no desire to go "visit" them there. First, I know only their remains are there, and secondly I have more quality time baking with my grams using her old crystal canisters and baking tools then dropping off flowers. Totally know what you mean. You are right tho, so important for lucas to experience the whole cemetary deal tho... Does the Goddess listen in a catholic cementary? ;) hehehehe So cute!!<br /><br />Looks like you had an amazing Beltane too!! We had a wonderful Samhain here, I forget sometimes you are on the other side of the world, well at least the lower half anyways ;)<br /><br />Its crappy that I missed out on Mrs B's 31 days of Halloween, but I am back with a laptop now, so expect to hear more of me! hehehe<br /><br />Have a GREAT week! I always think about you and Lucas, hope you both are doing very well! :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Bret xoxoThis Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023312580768741134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-72462981464428146402009-11-04T14:14:04.434-02:002009-11-04T14:14:04.434-02:00That is great that you took him despite your own d...That is great that you took him despite your own dislike of graveyards-you are such a good mom Nydia!

It was nice of you to bring Lucas there, though.

Some are well-kept, others are not. The cemetary is in two parts, split by the main road, and the lower part is separated from a carparl by a low wall. Not a place of comfort, but still not a place to fear.<br />You did well to go along with Lucas' wishes. Nothing inflames the imagination more than lack of information. I can't believe he'll be at all interested in frequent visits - there's really nothing for him there!Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-77879787503788682132009-11-03T17:42:08.829-02:002009-11-03T17:42:08.829-02:00Kids just love cemeteries and I think it's goo...Kids just love cemeteries and I think it's good you took him even if they aren't that attractive in Brazil.
