A Grave Tale

My dad was a bit obsessed with buying a grave site and marker this summer. It was finally installed in the end of July and is here in Grand Haven in the cemetery near the cottages.

Dad wanted to take a picture of himself laying on the grave with flowers in hand and his grieving grandchildren grasping kleenex weeping over him. He wanted to make it his facebook photo! Sick sense of humor, sick.

We didn't have time to do that this summer but we decided to go and find it one rainy day recently. We figured we could take pictures of us dancing on his grave and he would be amused.

Once we got there it was a bit somber and scary. I suddenly lost the desire to be silly about it. Too real.


Hopefully, we won't visit there again any time soon.
