Sisters

Today was decoration day for the graves at the cemetery. It's a task that has been preformed at the same church-yard for at least the last 120 years. It isn't a big heroic deal; just a matter of showing respect and honor to those who helped turn us into the people we are today. The love of our family is strong and runs deep but it is not unique. Lots of other graves were already decorated.

The two women in the picture are my aunts. One is in her ninety's and the other in her mid eighty's. They have a great time together and it's wonderful to hear the stories they have to tell. Even if it's a story I can recite with them almost word-for-word.
