My father died in 1983, my mother passed in 1996 and my sister had their ashes interred in a mausoleum inside of a glass box. My sister chose some of their personal things to put in their niche so when somebody came to pay respects they could view the things that made my folks happy in life. My sister let me know, yesterday, that the grave had been broken into and robbed. Some 25 graves to be exact.
I scanned my brain yesterday, trying to remember what was in there that a thief would want bad enough to rob a grave to get it. Then it dawned on me, (I type this with a heavy heart) my mother's brooch that had all the birth stones in it for each of us 4 children. It wasn't an expensive piece of jewelry. Probably couldn't pawn it. So I expect it was tossed somewhere. We don't really know what was taken yet. It's terrible, let me tell you. Of all the things I thought might happen to me, having my parent's grave robbed wasn't even on the list. -Ric

Come on over and enjoy my Staycation then have a dip in the cooling waters of Quebec.
(I know this is rather late - but I just found your page and this blog kind of grabbed me....)

Unforgivability comes to mind. Then you've got to wonder : how did things get so desperate ?
Peace, Ric, & love to the Lady.
