When most people think of cemeteries, positive emotions such as joy may not come to mind. However, when I went to the Italian Cemetery in San Francisco I had mixed feelings. My father’s ashes (above) were spread in a few of his favorite places, some at home, here with his family, and Montana. I had never been to this cemetery until this past weekend and I was delighted to see that my dad, grandfather, and great grandfather are all together in a beautiful cemetery with a great view. During my time there, I felt calm and after leaving, I felt happy and grateful that I was able to visit them.
