Last year on a trip to Boston I was walking the Freedom Trail and had a similar experience. If you have never done it before then let me tell you that there are a helluva lot of old (and I mean friggin' ancient) cemeteries in Boston. Many of the tombstones have been broken or weathered down to mere stubs which got me thinking about how here lay this person with their little memorial in stone which now fails to proclaim for whom it was erected. At what point did friends, family, whomever stop caring enough to repair the tombstones? Who were these people? What was their story? They must have one since they were around during a very tumultuous time in our history. Yet, there they lay no longer identified with a story lost to time.
