Today was Decoration day, where my folks are buried. I was there before 7 a.m. to collect donations from visitors. The money we collect on decoration day goes into a fund to keep the cemetery maintained.
In years past, there were hundreds of people who drove through the cemetery, placing flowers on the graves of their loved ones. These last few years, few people came. This year, even fewer.
I think this Tradition has seen its better days. Fewer and fewer graves had flowers this year. When this generation is gone, maybe the generations that follow will have new traditions onto which they can hold.
