Maybe you can complain there? Even sound off with your newspaper or local station. Our city has a phone number to call and complain. There needs to be rules in cemeteries.

This time of year...Wow. Talk about disrespectful.<br /><br />This time of year I make my annual trek to a LOT of cemetaries. I've had so much loss recently...<br />I am so engrossed in my prayers for loved ones I usually don't even notice my surroundings.<br /><br />Hugs and thank you for putting that out there. No only because, you are grieving and letting us into your life,<br /><br />but because people need to be mindful of what they do at a cemetary and who is grieving.Half of a Duo, Raising a Duohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967844567225960467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-84684932575842223602009-11-18T13:42:23.266-05:002009-11-18T13:42:23.266-05:00My gawd, I am disgusted.

We can't buy them toys, books or clothes. We can only buy them flowers or trinkets to adorn their headstone. Its the only way we can honour them now. I felt the same as you back in the spring. We had gone to visit E (this was before we lost L) and noticed his lantern and angel ornament were gone. The grounds crew took it from E's grave and thre it in the dumpsters in the back. I was devastated and angry. Some people can't see beyond themselves and realize that their actions hurt others. I'm sorry you were witness to that, and I hope this man starts to respect those that are buried there and their families left behind.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134970929000997104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-44356848778758915212009-11-18T13:33:59.232-05:002009-11-18T13:33:59.232-05:00I am so sorry!

They do not know what they do. <br /><br />Our babies ashes are spread in the gully near our home on a perfect mother rock. We've placed flowers there...and go every single day to just BE. Every time I am there, I notice that other people who walk through this wonderful field throw their trash on my sacred ground. It is a wilderness area...and they throw their trash. They break beer bottles in the field near the rock that my babies remains are resting near. I clean it every day. I remove shards of glass. wrappers. plastic bottles. I can't understand it. I know they don't KNOW my babies are there....but...it's a nature spot. a beautiful glade. and they shit on it. Yesterday...I found that someone had wiped their dog poopy shoe on my babies rock. <br /><br />and I cried. <br /><br />Because they are gone. Because their ashes aren't them...and because no one knows they are there. and because....even if they knew....it wouldn't matter to them...<br /><br />because they do not understand. <br /><br />Sweet mama....I am SO very sorry your precious hallowed space has been invaded by carelessness... by the ugly parts of the insensitive world that is blind to the sacredness that is a resting place for your beautiful little girl that you miss so very very much. It is just awful...and I wish those that are careless could understand. But...they just don't. My father taught me to drive when I was 10 in a graveyard. We had picnics in graveyards all over California. quiet and beautiful...we played hide and seek there. I didn't know any better. My father felt it was a way to teach us about the normality of death...but....it was a little off color I must say. <br /><br />Sending so much warmth your way.... I'm sorry for the negligence others are hurting you with.<br /><br />Mostly...I'm sorry that your daughter is not with you...because you are such a wonderful mother.

It's hard to believe the ignorance & disrespect some people show at a cemetery. I had a balloon (the kind on a stick) out for Mackenzie and it disappeared. When looking around I saw it in someone elses vase. I knew it was mine because I had wrapped an address label around it to hold the balloon to the stick. I took it right back but still - who does that??? I'm sorry for your experience and I hope it never happens again!!<br />((hugs))<br />AshleyMackenzie's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362223048159041632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-15699738805090218432009-11-18T09:28:30.891-05:002009-11-18T09:28:30.891-05:00Kristin..I am at a loss for words..what is wrong w...Kristin..I am at a loss for words..what is wrong with people??

Plus, because he is so close to the road, people often drive over his grave or park right on it. HIs stone is not in yet. We're hoping that will help a little with the latter, but I suspect flowers will continue to disappear. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533706560591305512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-28837457351909572432009-11-18T08:37:17.695-05:002009-11-18T08:37:17.695-05:00Oh I'm so sorry he did that.

Unbelievable! <br /><br />It's a shame that people do not respect the most sacred of places. <br /><br />We've not had any issues of that caliber. The worst that has happened to date is a missing pinwheel. It was only a dollar but from the day I put it up that pinwheel was always spinning like mad when I arrived at the cemetery. I know it's silly but it made me feel as if Jayden was acknowledging my presence. I replaced it...this one NEVER spins. Breaks my heart every time I see it just sitting there. <br /><br />Hugs to you, I'm so sorry you had to endure such a terrible situation.Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923400820390663172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-23835691618737774702009-11-18T01:01:04.016-05:002009-11-18T01:01:04.016-05:00That is a horrible encounter, Kristin.

I had brought Calvin a bouquet of flowers for his birthday and when I went back yesterday for his angel day, they were gone. I guess someone thought it was okay to take the flowers from my son's grave for their own pleasure. Maybe if they had stopped to think for a minute that those stupid flowers are about the only thing I can buy for him, they would have left them alone. People are so ignorant in their disrespect, write a letter to your local paper, call the news, call the city by-law department because letting a dog use a cemetery as a toilet is beyond acceptable. It's an outrage.
