I spend a lot of time in cemeteries, and I've been asked why I focus on children's graves so much.
When you die as an adult, you die with a legacy, hundreds of people mourne you and think of you often.
As a child everyone mournes you when you pass, and family and some friends will visit.
Or family and friends say "I can't visit the grave of a child. It's too hard." I understand it.
I visit the graves of these two girls often, they died at the hands of other people in horrific ways.
Its tragic to hear their story, or think of the circumstances of their passing.
I focus on children, because their life was so short, I especially focus on children of horrific events.
When you die and your death makes the news, podcasts, and documentaries. Your self disappears sometimes.
People tend to focus less on what you were as a person and more on how you left this earth.
I visit these graves because these girls need to be remembered as they were and lived, not how they left this earth.
