it isnt wrong to go, i go and visit my grandfather and grandma. cuz i was there for them till death as they were too. I go pay respect for my gradfather cuz I always wanted to be like him. He was a soldier who fought in WW2, he stormed normandy not only was he a soldier he was a great guy, and I always wanted to be like him. Plus he was the only other male in my imediate family besides my uncle who lives in colorado lol, so i go alot to pay respect for him  |

I would go all the time if they were closer to me but they aren't. Expecially my grandfather I would love to visit him all the time because I was extremely close with him. *IP*  |

Yep sure do. I cut the family plot when I cut my grass. I also take time out to stop and pray and even "update" the dead on current events. I'm not crazy but it feels a lot better to at least tell someone whether they can hear or not what is wrong or going on. My grandparents passed away in 92 (grandmothers) 01-02 (grandfathers)both sets and I do visit the other graveyard whenever I am in the area. Usually once every three weeks or once a month. Now my step-father passed away in 96 and I dont visit him. He was an <bleep> that didnt care for his own children or wife. That in itself is a very looong story. I guess it depends on the love you had for the individual. Also carry your children out there. Let them know the family history, Let them know who's who and where as well if possible. I can trace from memory all the way back to when my great great great great grandfather arrived in America. All that from grandpa and three holy Bibles with the family trees in them. But respect them, visit them. You would appreciate it to if they visited you. If you could see them growing up, expanding the family and hearing updates on life and the world. (if it is possible after death). Hmmm that would be a great debate.... Ttyl SmoknJoe  |

You said that well SmoknJoe, I should go visit more often. But sometimes I feel it isn't necessary because they are dead and if I want to talk to them I will talk to them in my house LOL! I just feel if they can hear me it doesn't really matter if I am standing in front of their graves or not. But on the other hand sometimes I feel guilty about not going to visit. |

well I would visit them but they are in NY and I am in WA... oddly enough one of my favorite passtimes is to go to cemetaries, and read the old old sayings people have carved in their stones.. I know I am weird!! LOL  |

Whenever I go back, I will stop by the graves and think about my friends and family. I need to get back there a little more. Write on, Lisa.  |
