That's beautiful @PurpleBunny

It's also true, we're related to everyone.

I walk there for exercise, and after a while, you memorize all the stones. I feel like we are all friends and I want them all to be treated with respect. I want everyone there to have at least me, to care about them.

When I go to a cemetery, I always try to not get a foot on any grave.

There was also an incident in TX where a mosque was torched and the local synagogue offered the congregation a place to worship. Goodness lives.

Thanks for telling us that @Lila Belle

They really do want to know who did this. As far as the law enforcement goes, they do not have any information on who did it. But you can be sure that it wasn't just one person.....the monuments are very heavy. Don't believe they had any cameras there.

There are several Jewish cemeteries here in the St. Louis area, and you can bet your sweet bippy they are being well watched....and maybe some have cameras...and if they don't, hope they will consider doing so.

OK, that really is beautiful! @PurpleBunny

I've always loved walking through cemeteries, and there are so many beautiful ones in this area. When DD was little, we took her for walks through different cemeteries to see different cultures. It's really a teaching moment.

That is wonderful, and shows the best side of Islam ,and Muslims. I'm glad you posted this.

I had a cyber pal who was my age. He told me when he was a child, they were afraid he would have to have his leg amputated

His teacher was Muslim, and came to the hospital and prayed while he held his leg. He got better and the leg was saved

He never forgot his kindness to him

That applies to all organized religions and people of good will.

Nice story @cherry

There is so much that is great about our country.
People are basically good and kind.
Unless our ancestors were the original inhabitants we are all immigrants.
Our families came here for religious and human rights and freedoms not granted in other places.
We cherish our roots and our history, but become one with our country.
There will always be a bad apple in every barrel, but goodness and kindness in this country abounds.
Do not forget this, and do not allow yourselves to be stirred in to a frenzy and forget.

❤ and repeat!

And thank you, @Beth-QVC for your moderation.

When my daughter was little, we had neighbors we were close to, from a different culture. Their kids were always in my house or mine was always over there.

One day they asked if she would like to come to their cemetery to visit the relatives and my girl really wanted to go. They spent a sunny afternoon at the graves, singing, telling stories about those who were there and having a good time together.

She never forgot it, it was beautiful. And she's still close to that family, they all keep in touch by FB.

@Noel7 Long story short, I took care of the flowers on the grave of an elderly man's wife. Turned out, he had been really ill and couldn't come water the flowers and he was heartbroken thinking they had died. I was there so much, I always saw him and I knew something must be wrong because the flowers were dying. Well, when he saw me, that man hugged me and cried his eyes out, he was sooooooooooo grateful. He knew it had to be me that took care of the flowers. One of the most touching moments of my life.
