Somehow cemeteries give a big feeling of calmness. For some people it could be a sad or creepy place but for me it's one of my favorite places to relax. There's no music, no traffic sounds, no noise; just silence. I like to wander around in cemeteries and watch the details carved in the graves' stone and contemplate the angel and woman statues. I have gone two times to the Colon's Cemetery, the huge one in Havana, and I like it a lot despite of how abandoned it is. At least you can see that nature has a place to grow in the city and it is there at the cementery, around most of the graves. It's nice to see like you say, because the souls balance with nature in peace.
I really liked your post :3, hope your husband fully recovers soon!
