• How Far Is Too Far?

  
  

  This sunday we found out that someone took a stone from mom's gravesite. It was an engraved stone that simply read 'Angel On Duty'. It had been there almost a year, so I suppose we should count ourselves lucky it remained where it was that long. Before casting blame, we are checking to see if the attendant staff removed it, but they've cleaned around it several times over the past year and haven't bothered it.

  
  

  I hope it was just removed for safety sake and not stolen, I really do...because the alternative is just too sad to contemplate.

  
  

  I suppose the only reason I'm even entertaining the possibility of it being taken is stories I hear and read about like the people calling 9/11 victim's families and getting SS and credit card numbers from them under the pretense of gathering information to find them.

  
  

  There are somethings that the word 'embarassing' just doesn't cover; and when people do things like this part of me is embarassed to be in the same general vicinity as them...meaning earth.
