Somber Sunday

My trip back in time and memories on Mother's Day meets lots of ghosts but not in the cemeteries. But after visiting four cemeteries in two days, I have much to think about, before I write.

Mom's grave on the hill west of Waurika, Oklahoma

Dad's grave at Fairlawn cemetery, next to his father's grave, Erle Thweatt Clark;
Dad's inscription says "His spirit lives in his paintings."

From left, Dad's grave, Erle's grave, and then my great grandparents, Mary Unit Watts and Batte Peterson Clark
