walking through the cemetery after a long day of saving lives, i couldn't help but admire the sense of peace that flowed through the air. the notices placed lovingly at each grave, though meant to commemorate, also served a preexploratory purpose, guiding families on a journey of reconnection and healing. amid this solemn beauty, it's essential not to let the actions of a few discredit this sacred space; the true essence and stories it holds are often concealed, waiting to be respectfully uncovered and reconstituted into our collective memory.
