Rutherglen Cemetery

The cemetery is a disgrace, went yesterday as it was Fathers Day, I was shocked at the state of the place, in fact I was in tears as were several other folk visiting their dearly beloved. Grass was cut but only in places and hadn't been strimmed up to the headstones where loads of weeds were growing, we tried pulling them out with our hands. The bins were full to the brim with plastic bahs lying at the sides. The worst cemetery I've even seen.

This is where my beautiful young 25 year old son has been laid, his resting place, and it is breathtaking, he sits high up on a hill, and at day the sun shines all over and brightens his day, and at night he can see for a long way all the lovely stars in the sky and the lights, of busy cars, and street lights glowing and little lights all around little solar lights, making it a warm and pleasant place for him to look down from. I miss yiu my son so much, i can't put it into words, ive tried but i can't seem to find any powerful enough to tell you how sad i feel without you still walking this earth, and that breaks my heart a bit more every day, especially when every young boy i see with sallow skin and your build i have to double take as i see you everywhere, your always on my mind wee man, Every day i try to listen to something that reminds me of you, i am going with Peter Lyon to see your grandad i hope he holds no ill will to you as you are no longer here, and he was your grandson, it can't just be black and white when its family i know he loved you i know he loves me, but im just trying to work out how he shows it, hopefully when i visit you come too, and you might be able to tune into what it is that makes him tick, as he is a stranger to me, but i refuse to give up on him, and i never did give up on you, i gave respect but got none in return, i was there with you babes, i just didnt get to hold you as you passed, and its so sad, i miss that the most i wanted to say " im here for you son " always have been but ill be honest there were times i didnt know how to fix things and i so badly wanted to my perfect young man.
