Went to the graveyard this afternoon, not been there since my sisters ashes went down with mother, in December gone. Plan was to remove withered flower's, tidy up the grave and get it ready for spring bloom. Among the usual bits and bobs already on the grave was heart stone with the words MUM engraved along with a sentimental verse, the moment I seen it, I had a bad feeling about it.
I am the main keeper of the grave, the others never visit but nevertheless I asked my siblings all the same if any had left the stone there recently, and like I guessed, neither of the three had which means there is one remaining ... he being the prodigal son, my youngest brother.
It's a real stone/rock, heart shaped, nice imprint of the image of Jesus along with lovely words...
" two tired eyes are sleeping"
two willing hands are still
the one who worked so hard for us
is resting at Gods will.
The end of the heart is flat, designed as if to go in soil, I picked it up, there was a very rusty stand at it's back to stand it upright, it looked old and the flat part looked discolored, as if it were in the ground, but on my mothers grave it was not.
I can't prove it but I know it was stolen from another woman's / mothers grave and and that bothers me BIG TIME, not just because my own mother was very superstitious about stealing from graves but in my eyes, it's morally wrong
Now I've the task of trying to find the lady's grave the stone should be resting on...
I've no idea how the heck I'm going to do that, but I'll try
but regardless of whatever, I'm not going to be leaving the stolen stone on my mothers grave.
Just out of a matter of interest ....
Is what my brother done, forgivable?
