It is definitely good to see things from a child's perspective sometimes because I believe that as we get older we tend to over complicate things and children just seem to make thing simpler. Beautiful story thanks for sharing.

A great story. I really like the "dialogue." It may seem odd, but I really like graveyards. I spent a lot of time in one after my father's death. I even learned to drive there. It's difficult to hit anyone in a cemetery... Jack

This is a real gem Anne...I have twin great-grandsons...Once when they were around 5 yrs old and my wife was still alive, she unknowingly had a rip in the rear of her jeans...James walked over to her when she was cooking, tugged on her shirt and whispered "Maw-maw, your pants are broke"...Priceless - Tim

A wonderful story, how the innocence of a child can often be the most inspiring of all, alas I would not let Luke anywhere near any graveyard, or at the very least check he hadn't packed a shovel :)
