It is a Jewish tradition to put a stone on a grave that you have visited.
For this reason I took this stone home with me from Rome, many years ago. Today I finally remembered to take it with me when I left home to visit my moms grave. And no, I'm not Jewish, I just love this tradition.

After visiting my mom I had dinner and drinks with the lovely Ailsa. We talked a lot. And then we had more drinks. And talked some more. Oh and we giggled, obviously :)
