There is one site that is about a year old that has been sad to watch. I am guessing it is the grave site of a baby because there have been a lot of toys, balloons and such put on that grave. I first noticed it because there was always some new items on the grave site. Most of the graves are decorated around holidays, but this one was always decorated. A few times I saw some people at the grave site. Then recently, in October, I saw a #1 balloon tied to some toys at the grave site, so I am guessing that baby is a year old now. Actually, over the past few months, the items have decreased, which in a way makes me happy for the parents, because maybe they are pregnant again or have other things taking up their time and easing their sorrow. There was a rawness to their grief when there were new toys and flowers there every week, or even every few days. I don't know who they are, of course, but it is reassuring that the passage of time seems to heal wounds.
Then there is another site that I have noticed, not so much because of the site, but because about once a week there are several women sitting at the grave site. I noticed it the most in the warmer months and they are there either Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. But the other week, even when it was cold and dark, I noticed some cars parked there and some women sitting, on lawn chairs, in a semi circle, at the site. I am guessing that this must have been a close group of women who used to get together every week and now that one of them is gone, they get together at her grave site and continue their times together.
