A pretty butterfly sits at the back of a small cemetery in Riddles Creek, VIC, Australia. At just 7 years old Lily succumbed to DIPG nearly 7 months after her diagnosis.

So much I cannot read here, including on the lower part of the stone. But I love the sculpting of the train and artillery

16 years old when shot in the chest with a British musket. Survived the wound and returned to active duty 6 weeks later.

At the Beechmount Cemetery in Edmonton, Canada.

I don't know how he died, I just thought he was charming in his sailor suit while strolling through the cemetery with my kids

The Polish people really take good care of their graves

He is buried at the church located at Mammoth Cave N.P. I’ve added a link about his death in the comments.

This is the grave of Mary Annie but grave is known more for her sister Lucy aka The Lady In Black. Lucy visited Mary’s grave twice a week for over 48 years, always dressed in traditional mourning black. She walked all the way from Atlanta to Marietta round trip which around 40 miles both ways and averages around 10-15 hours.

There have been several ghostly sitings of Lucy over the years...always dressed in her signature black.

This rests in the designated Orthodox Christian section of Restland Memorial Park in Dallas, Texas. Not 100% certain on the iconography, but it seems to be depicting the Anastasis (traditional Orthodox for "The Resurrection of Christ"). It illustrates Christ shattering the gates of Hell while lifting Adam and Eve out of their tombs, symbolizing the redemption of humanity. I want to say, there’s also an Ambo— which* *is basically an elevated podium or platform in the center of it (on the ground). I think it’s where the clergy (or whoever, in this case) may chant Gospels, deliver sermons, or pray. It’s also utilized from time to time by our local parishes to host outdoor memorial services (like Memorial Day, or Bright Week).

Backstory: Both sides of my wholeee entire family are buried at Restland, (and have been since the 1940’s), so we’re there Fre. Quent. Ly. I honestly love it, it’s always been my little slice of peace, nature, art, and appreciation for how those choose to express and experience their grief. I was also just naturally exposed and around lots of death and grief when I was younger, so I find visiting / appreciating these things as second nature to me. Anyway, As someone who’s there all the time, I couldn’t believe I stumbled upon this beauty for the very first time (the grounds are massive— over 375 Acres of land)! We have to drive across the street to the other entrance of the grounds if we wanna “visit” everyone lol. But yEAH whata freaking BEAUT!

Saw this a few years ago in New Orleans

She was so beautiful and I felt so many things as I studied her features.

I needed the solumnity, somberness and centeredness of this American hero. I needed to be inspired again, to do hard things, to preserve this nation. Lincoln did hard things. I am also called to do hard things.
