All Saint's Day

Visiting with family that have crossed over to the other side, as they say, always seems like such a lonesome task, but once you begin to walk thru the sparkling white tombs it seem comforting in some  way.   My pilgrimage to the cemetery this year included my first cousin Gwendolyn, aka PooPay, and my sister Dawn Lyl, aka Joe.  As we were guided to a who's who tour by PooPay I noticed the beautiful French names that are listed on the marble head stones.  Names like Admar, Amaille, Favie, Inez, and Nadege. I thought it sad that these beautiful names would be saved for only the older generation, but then I learned that my younger generation cousin Curt had named one of his little girls after her grandmother Nadege.  A Cajun tradition for the next generation, I love it.
