Hi there,
I know we are not supposed to judge people, but this experience is stuck under my skin, and it’s not going anywhere, it has been eating away at me!
🙁
So, I decided to do a blog entry about it. 😉
I make sure my Mom always has something extra nice on her grave for the Christmas season; whether it be a blanket, wreath, or an arrangement. This past Christmas (on Mom’s birthday, December 2nd), I placed a nice arrangement on the grave. I did not make it this time, it came from Walmart. LOL
Anyway, my husband and I always makes sure whatever we put there is securely staked down, so the wind don’t catch it and carry it away.
Well, much to my surprise!!! :/ I guess it’s been about 3 weeks ago, I make a visit and what do I see? I see this arrangement placed on the grave right next to Mom’s with those same stakes we used. YES! And we know it didn’t blow away, we had (I know) at least 4 stakes holding it down. I always make sure her flowers are nice and tight.
My mouth literally opened with a huge gasp…I COULD NOT believe it. I told my sister about it and she asked, “did you put it back?” Well, no…I didn’t, I did not want anyone to see me do that. LOL :O
We thought of reporting it, but hey, this is one of those things that you can’t prove. 🙁
I guess the only thing I can do is pray for them. 🙁
Do I feel better now that I’ve blogged about it?? No! lol
We’ll see, I guess Valentine’s day will be a test! 😉

Aww, sorry that happened Tammy but it does happen a lot. I had some flowers on my parents grave a few years ago that said Mom and Dad. Within one week I went back out and they were sitting in the garbage behind the shed way over to the back. I was so upset. Why people do that? Just because they have nothing better to do and don’t realize the hurt they are causing others or if they do, they don’t care.
Hey Darlene, 🙂
Yes, it’s sad that people will stoop that low to hurt other people. Needless to say, I was really upset. For Valentine’s day flowers, I will take a pic before leaving the grave, and if they are moved…I’ll take another pic and then I’ll have my proof. :/
Unbelievable! But after a deep breath, an image came to my mind that your mom wanted to gift this person the flowers. Maybe they needed a little bit of the love that she always gets. Not all people that pass are so lovingly remembered. So your mom may have orchestrated the living “thief” to take it and deliver it on her behalf.
Life is so funny and crazy things happen all the time but I think this kind of image would make me feel better so I hope you feel better about it and have a laugh with your mom about it. 🙂
Hi Evelyn,
You may be onto something there. Mom was a beautiful person inside and out, and she was pleasant to everyone she came into contact with. Thank you for your comment and stopping by my blog. 🙂
