When A Love One Goes...............Ahead Of Us.


Saturday 20 February 2010 was a red letter day for the friends and relatives of Luis Olorvida Tagolino, a baby boy who died on the day he was born because of complications on his little heart which was aggravated by the enlargement of the heart suffered by his mother during child birth.

Death really is hard to accept, especially when the one who died is so young and you are expecting him to be part of your life in the near future, since the child is your first and only son.

The mother, Gina O. Tagolino is really at a loss on what to say and feel, but just resigned to the fact that all things happen because God wills it, whether people thinks otherwise. As they say, so be it.
Burial was scheduled at 2:00pm after the celebration of the Holy Mass at the St. Francis Xavier Parish church of Palompon, Leyte.

The afternoon heat was not a hindrance to dampen the spirits of those who joined the afternoon internment of the young and adorable child.

After the short and solemn affair, I decided to take some pictures of the cemetery, especially the open spaces above the graves or pantheons of the love ones of people of all ages, young and old, rich or poor, man or woman.

At right is a photo of graves located at the center of the cemetery where something can be done to make it more attractive, be made green and more earth friendly.

It is being done in countries where land is a prime commodity and the price sky high, like Japan.

What I am saying is that they are building structures where the top and even other floors can be used to plant small crops especially vegetables for human consumption.

Or they can landscape the top portion by planting small green plants that would enhance the beauty and functionality of the said cemetery. Others have been doing it, we can do it also.
