Description


Hi dears, as I've told you in my posting yesterday I have made another experience at the cemetery that I cannot get out of my mind... during the walk I came to a place I have never been before. Those graves are decorated differently to the usual ones, so colourful and serene. I got closer and what I saw really striked me! Those are all graves for babies... OMG... it pulls your heartstring to read the inscriptions. Some of the babies were only one month or a few weeks old when they had to pass away and some of them haven't even made one day as you can see in the image. What a tragedy! I sat down with tears in my eyes and my heart was filled with sympathy for their families. I felt how blessed I am to be able to see my kids growing up! I felt ashamed of being unpatient or mad with them sometimes! So this upload is for all the parents here on Rendo... Be patient with your kids even if they aren't the way you want them to be, if they pull your nerves now and then, if there are problems you never had thought of before. Be thankful for everyday you are able to see them growing! Kids are such an amazing gift! God bless you! Thanks for stopping by and any comments... but I will understand and respect you if you aren't able to comment this posting due to the subject matter. Have posted a thread to the Forum with a few more images from this sad place "An experience I won't forget" Thank you for taking time to comment on my previous upload The Sign I appreciate each and every comment very much!

Very evocative Moni, it is sad to see the dates on childrens graves, and think it moves everyones soul to read them, Time was when there was no doctors, hospitals or medicne to make them well, now is better, but still wars and neglect still have there way. V Lina

That is sad, Monika. Where my Dad is buried their are tomb stones of children who died from polio. It is so sad. They are all saints in Heaven now.

Yes is sad but that is life. Having two of my babies die in my arms at one hour old i can relate to this sadness and memories this photo brings. One of ours has teddy bear and the other has a rose. Alec and Rebecca. But life goes on but we learn to grow from sadness and enjoy the happy times more. Life is too short to live in what might have been. Takecare Moni

Theres something very heartbreaking seeing a childs grave, and you stumbled upon alot of them. I saw your photos in the forum and even though its really sad its also wonderful to see all the love and effort being put into "decorating" those graves. Thank you for sharing.

It is a very touching photograph. I share with you your sensitivity of seeing these final resting places of the babies. In India, very often, we are told that God takes away some of the babies early because they are blessed and He does not want them to suffer in this world. They were born just to go through a rebirth to expatiate the sins of their previous births. I know this sound very spiritual etc. I, personally, feel that the people believe this here just so that they can attach a positive significance. But this picture of yours is, in fact, a very touching one, no matter what interpretation you give to it.

A very touching photo with high emotional impact. It makes me think of all the millions of children who have been prevented from being born due to laws which allow abortions! A sadness beyond belief.

Ja Moni hinter dieser so nachdenklichen aber zur selben Zeit auch farbenfrohen Aufnahme steckt wirklich viel Leid und Trauer dahinter. Es gibt leider immer noch zu viele Eltern welche ihre Kinder auf eine abscheuliche Art und Weise demingen, strafen, schlagen und...... !!! Schade, dass solche Eltern diese nachdenkliche Szene wie diese von Dir nicht sehen knen!!! Wundersche Aufnahme mit dieser stillen Atmosphe! Man knte meinen, dass man jedes sich im Winde drehende Blatt hen kann!

I know what you talking about, my wife has such kind of feelings often, she told me that you emailed her about this. She is not well lately, so she send you her greetings here, she don't comment others. I know we must see the things we have, and if you lost somebody then you realize how happy we must be with our own family. Nice pictures
