next time she visits?
(I asked for something similar, although not morbid, a revisiting of my very early life places, shared places. It didn't happen.)
Dr. Richard Grossman:
Hi Freshwater,
Sorry, I wasn't clear. My daughter lives in Brooklyn, NY--and the cemeteries are in Brooklyn and Queens, NY (both part of New York City). So, it would be the next time I visit her. BTW, I have never been to the cemeteries in question, nor do I know where they are, so she would be the tour guide based on her research. I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to visit the places that were important to you...

Almost all of my people are buried in two cemeteries. Almost all of my dead relatives are buried in two cemeteries. The cemeteries are less than 1/4 mile apart. They were purposely put on high places and they are rural. Depending on the time of year and the weather, you can sometimes see one of them from a mile or so away. It is beautiful. As a matter of course, country people like myself often visit the cemeteries where their kin are buried. I have a cousin whose hobby is archiving burial sites.

TT,
Your cousin sounds like she's into genealogy, which is a fun hobby! I need to find a bumper sticker that says: "I brake for cemeteries." Other family historians will understand.

I think I didn't read too well Richard (sorry)! Thanks for your words. It's just difficult for me to even find them on my own. Letting go is a constant, it seems.
Dr. Richard Grossman:
Hi tt,
I think the Merkin article generated irritability/conflict—so I didn’t take your response personally. We do have a wonderful group of people here—thank you for your kind words.
“Maybe I didn’t want to share you.”
Even on a message board, if you make an "attachment" with a person, I think it can be hard...
Richard
