Today would have been my dad's 81st birthday and also it's father's day so we cycled over to the cemetery this morning to take him some flowers.
My dad is nearer the back of the cemetery with my nan and my sister is at the front and in the middle there's a rose garden with benches round the edge to sit on, so we took a flask of tea and had a cuppa while we "people watched", I love to see all the graves filled with fresh flowers and some had "father's day" balloons on them.
"Happy birthday dad and a happy father's day"

Happy birthday and Father's Day to your dad - I'm sure he knows you were there today.
I think it's great that you made such an occasion of your visit and were able to see the good in people still remembering their loved ones,

I do not have any family at our little cemetery but I have friends there and some friends husbands so i pop in and say hello to them occasionally, I love to see who has had visitors,it is nice to be remembered
Visiting my parents grave brings a peace hard to explain.
I guess it's a closeness to loved ones. Glad you celebrate your Dads birthday. Fathers day is in September here in Australia.
