Part 6:
The Cemetery is to the back of the church. We drive Helena and Josef in the car and I think 2 other cars of family members came along as well. With candles in bags we walked to the graves. We stopped at Teofil grave 1st and behind his grave was my great great grandfathers and mothers grave. Kazmier and Elizabeta. I was amazing to see it. It didn’t have a big sign on it just a small one but it was theirs.
I pulled out my bag of soil. Soil from the memorial garden that my grandmothers – Bernice Krogol ashes are on. I’ve had a bag of soil for a bit in Polish on the shelf not really knowing the best place to put it and no place was right until now. This was perfect place! On my grandmothers - Bernice, grandmothers grave – Elizabeta.
Wow, I can’t believe that really happened.
I came full circle. I am standing on the land my great, great grandmother and family stood on and prayer on and worked on. How amazing.
We walked to a few more graves to Richard's Father's Grave. Stan. Flowers are placed all around , as flowers and candles are on graves all around as well.
I also meet another one of Richard's Brothers and his wife. She is really friendly and nice to meet.
Now we much go to church its just about 11am I think.
