Some of my family goes out to where my grandparents buried every mother’s & Father’s Day and on they birthday. They been dead 12 and 8 years respectively and I think I been out there once.

Now I have no problem with this, though they shame others in the fam for not going out there regularly. I miss my folks but I ain’t going out there to just stare at the ground. I remember them through the memories I have in my head :manny:

I do.

I go with my father to visit the grave of my brother and my mother. Bdays and anniversaries of their death.

My mother, bday(same month as mother's day), anniversary of her passing and thanksgiving/holiday time.

And no, it's not because I think the soul of the person is chilling in the grave...nah. It's kind of like a journey that becomes tradition which humbles you a bit about life and begs you to slow down and to get the brain stirring with memories of them.

Craziest shyt is, my father paid for his own plot next to my mother so he goes and must have deep thoughts about the fact that he knows where his physical body will have it's last home. Deep shyt.

Clean and freshen up the Tomb that hold my Grandparents. It's been a year since the double funeral we had for 'em both so like a new pair of kicks you scrub and try not to scuff, I want their tomb to look fresh as fukk cause it's the best in the whole cemetery, not taking away from any body else's.

I stop by from time to time to utter a prayer or say my cowardly respects, but I also make it a point to take a pass down there whenever there's a funeral or so in the graveyard, because recently there was a funeral and the respective tomb was built RIGHT next to my Grandfolk's and I saw a video of a bunch of fukkheads standing ONTOP the shyts and breh was a fukking drug dealer so there were a bunch of people rolling joints with cups of liquor'n'shyt scattered around, so I wasn't having that shyt.

Went down and cleaned it up and let folks to know to respect my family's shyt, I don't give a fukk WHO you are.:demonic:

I need to also say that I also bring my sons when the weather is beautiful.

I want them to understand the weight of family. I want them to feel a sense of legacy in that they should know that they are individuals but they also inherited a certain code and values.

I feel that legacy and I find myself being alone and still making decisions that still would make those who raised me and sacrificed for me proud. I want them to understand that as well.

It's also a beautiful feeling to know that you are instilling the idea of cherishing memories in your children so, for atleast a few generations, you won't be forgotten.

Yeah, it's the least I can do. It may not mean anything (I dont believe in heaven) but the memories I have from my relatives cant be replaced. Not sure if they hear me but it brings me peace and I miss them everyday, especially my grandparents
