Leave flowers on the grave of someone I don't know

I’ll be doing this on the 26th…although it wasn’t how I originally pictured it. I didn’t plan on leaving flowers on the grave of someone I knew and loved at the same time…

I was thinking about leaving flowers on the grave of my best friend’s brother, who committed suicide a long time ago. I don’t really know him, I only know what my best friend told me about him. I guess it would be nice to do that for my best friend and his family.

I am finally making this trip after 18 years. I never met the man who gave me life. And now I will make my journey across the states to lay white daisies in the snow, for all the questions, I’ll never know the answers to. Just as I was his silent daisey, the one he swore he’d never speak of, Oh he took his daisy to the grave. So, I too will leave a trace of me on the grave of my strager. The one who made my eyes brown, and my skin golden. The one who shaped my lips and and thighs and hips, the man who plucked my petals in his absence, and in his death, left me staring in the mirror at a stranger.

Yes, I will take my journey, and sit upon his grave. I will pluck his petals and leave a trail of questions and then go home to dream and wait for the answers. I know then, he will finally answer.

And I can forgive. And find closure.

I’m coming home Daddy.

i’m going to leave some flowers this weekend at Ian Curtis’s grave

I want to leave flowers on the grave of the former owner of the place I work. I never know her, it was long ago, but I feel that she would like them. I even had a dream about it last night. Maybe it will help her rest in peace.

I felt like such a fake when I did it. I felt like I was desecrating the whole place. I bought some white flowers (signifying peace, I guess) then chose an unmarked cross. Some people walked by and it was weird. There was a lot of snow so I guess the flowers are already dead. Sacrifice. Rest in peace.

I saw this on somebody else’s list and it seems like a nice idea.

Especially with so much snow here. I think this will be nice.

I think I will do this whenever I go to visit Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto. I’ve never been there before so it’ll be an experience.

I have decided that I am going to do this on Valentines Day. See, I was friends with this guy since I was 3 years old, and we grew up together. I always loved him. We were going out for two and a half years. I moved really far away, but we stayed together and were strongly in love, even though we were young. I wanted to visit him the weekend before Valentine’s Day, but I couldn’t, and so settled on seeing him the weekend after. He died on Valentine’s day of from a car accident. I miss him more than anything. I wish I could go to his grave on the night that he died, and feel closer to him, but I still live too far away to go there. I added this goal to my 43 things a while back, and thought it would be a good time to do this. if I can’t leave flowers on his grave, than I think it would be a good idea to this instead.

I don’t want to pick a random grave and then ‘tick off’ this goal.
It’s all just a matter of finding someone worthy of having flowers, someone who is deserving.
