And of course I had to leave a little something on the grave of one of my favorite people to ever grace this earth, thereby fulfilling the decorative aspect of this holiday which was originally referred to as Decoration Day. Her grave was already adorned with an American flag and many flowers, so I decided to add a little piece of me. It is a little orange diamond trinket, of which I have many. Some I keep in my car, others around my house. They serve no other purpose than that they are pretty and I like them. But Evalee was a collector, and I know that she would have stopped and picked one up if she saw it glistening in the sun. So I left it for her to find and to let her know that her memory lives on. For when you meet someone whose soul is so identical to your own, you have no choice but to never forget your time with them.
Happy Memorial Day
