When my girlfriend died her bigoted parents wouldn't let me attend her funeral or burial, but I know she was buried in this cemetery. I can't find her gravestone, though this one looks like it belongs to her twin brother that died the year before I met her.

His grandmother had told him years ago that he was the product of rape, when she was to trying to get him to stop pushing his mom for info about his father. But even though he had long understood those strange looks she sometimes cast at him as he was growing up, he wasn’t prepared to see the horrified recognition on her face, crying out for help every time he tried to bring flowers to the nursing home.

Standing in our overgrown and unkempt garden for the first time since losing our little daughter, I found a magpie nest that had fallen from a tree. Noticing a flash of silver, I lifted out my necklace, reminded of the time I was angry at our little girl for losing it and her blaming the fairies at the bottom of the garden.
