Our side of the family is small, and my parents have passed, Mom a couple years ago and Dad four years ago. They aren’t far away, six hours, but I have not visited. I do think of them and my best friend from high school, who passed away nine years ago.
I see the white painted bicycles around town and sometimes a small white cross with memorial around town.
If you’re on I 26 between Charleston and Columbia, you see a lot of crosses, where I assume people have driven off the road and hit the pine trees. Recently, they have been taking down those pine trees, filling it in and installing heavy cables to prevent crossover.
About 100 years ago or more, didn’t people visit cemeteries and bring food with them to visit the departed?
