What do you leave at the grave of a child when you visit?
Question Posted Tuesday October 21 2014, 7:09 pm
Long story short, this family I know had an infant son die at birth. I visit his grave on occasion and leave him flowers, but Thursday will be the first birthday of his that I will leave him anything. I'd leave flowers on his grave, but I've already done so recently and I want to leave him something birthday-ish. Any ideas?
