RE: An Accidental Walk Through Aachen's Eastern Cemetery

In a way, it makes me sad to see all the overgrowth. But I guess after so long, there isn't really anybody to care for it or who really cares about who was there. It's all distant memories, if any at all.

Sort:  

Well, many of the graves have been there for over a century - there's no nuclear family anymore, only distant relatives few generations far from the buried people. Do you care about your grand-grand-grandparents resting site? I don't ;)

Nope, not grand-grand-grandparents! I don't, but I did grow up with multiple great grandparents when I was child and into my 20s.

Based on your nickname, I assume you're from the US, and your great grandparents were likely scattered all across the country. I guess maintaining their plots may not be easy eihter ;)

You're 100% correct! I am from the US. Despite my name, though, I’m not from Boston, Massachusetts. Actually, I’ve never been! Maintaining our plots is not easy, especially on my dad's side. My mom’s side has been altogether for the past few generations.

Heh, what a clickbait nickname then :) It reminds me of my visit to Blue Lake, California. No Blue Lake whatsoever in like 100 mile radius at least :))

:p You could say it is! But really it's just my last name lol.

Blue Lake, California has some green water and some good fishing!

I don't really fancy fishing ;)
