Would you stoop so low?

Hello,

This blog is about what happened when my daughter visited Isabellas resting place earlier this week.

Only those who have lost children will appreciate the importance of making their grave as beautiful as you can, making it colourful by ensuring it has nice flowers etc.

This is where you go to be close to your child, you make it beautiful and peaceful because you are looking after them. Its a place to go to think, reflect and to talk to them. Its supposed to be a calming place.

We have tried to make Isabellas plot as nice as we can, each set of grandparents have purchased the plot either side so we can all be together in the future. This has enabled us to extend her garden to be able to make room for all the flowers that family are constantly taking. The local council only allow the garden to extend out 300mm but do allow it to extend to neighbouring plots.

We have even purchased a bench with her name on a plaque so people can sit and spend time with her.

It is a beautiful place when the sun is shinning, her garden looks lovely. Its is a wonderful tribute to our little girl.

So bearing all this in mind can someone please explain to me why when this is so obviously a babies grave, do some scum bags (and believe me I have toned that down) feel the need to steal things off the grave?????

I actually cant believe some people could stoop so low!

When my daughter visited the other day she noticed that two small vases that had been halve buried into the ground had been taken and this is not the first time. The vases were not expensive and dont have any real sentimental value so what is the point!

Do these low life not know the heartbreak their selfish actions cause, the thought that someone has walked up to my granddaughters grave stooped down and pulled these items out of the ground sickens me.

My daughter was in tears, this is the last thing she needs after what she has been through. Why dont these people think?

I dont know how to prevent it, the cemetery is open 24 hours a day, do we put a sign up saying dont steal off this grave you bas#@rds.

This is not the only problem we have encountered. We have stumbled across drunks or should I say they have stumbled across us, others take their dogs but instead of keeping them on their leads they think its ok to let them run loose. There is a new section in the cemetery next to the part where Isabella is, its an open plot of land being prepared for future burials but these dog owners think its ok for them to let their dogs sprint around on there barking and pooing everywhere. Its still part of the cemetery even if it is not occupied.

I could rage on about this matter for hours if I let myself!

A cemetery is a sacred place, its full of loved ones being visited by their family. Its the only place these family members have to spend time with their departed why cant people be more considerate.
