Roadside Memorials

When we see those small white crosses on the side of the road, we all know what that means.  It means that someone lost their life in a car accident on that very spot.  This roadside memorial custom is practiced all over the United States now but it is controversial. I use to think that these memorials were weird and that people shouldn’t do this.  But latter I changed my mind because I thought; "who am I to tell the brokenhearted that their public grief is unwanted." My heart goes out to all the grieving families who set up roadside memorials. My hope and my prayer is that they will find peace and healing for their loss. Also I pray that those who see the small crosses along the road will respect them and be reminded to be more careful as they drive. The following song is for you: "The Windows of the World," by Isaac Hayes.
