I was just thinking about all the animals loved that have been buried in places that no longer exist, in graves forgotten and built over. Do the current residents know they’re there? That someone loved them? That they were buried carefully? Lovingly tucked in to sleep, to grow into grass under a strangers feet many years away, and gently haunt our dreams.
