Very touching. Every time we drive through the Jewish section of the cemetery I see those stones and think of the folks who visited and left a trace of themselves.
Funny that you mention stones on graves. A couple years ago, I made a heart shape out of stones on our dog Lady's grave. Just because, she is/was our beloved pup.

have been gathered to place on the headstones of those we've lost. I've heard it's a Jewish tradition. I'm not Jewish but I bring stones that make me think of you. If I brought every stone as I thought of you there would only be a mountain where you lay deep inside no longer with the living but always in my heart.
