Powerful is the love of a sister, a mother, some who has lost a loved one and will not forget. I just spent the last two hours talking to a lady who had lost her sister to an accident. Her love has not faltered over these years. It is so strong and powerful. I get to meet her and her step mother this weekend for an interview. If this doesn't bring the seriousness of a project home to a person, I don't know what would.
Tomorrow morning I get the RCMP take on roadside memorials and must call BC Ambulance service to arrange an interview. I am just so taken by the reaction of people. This experience is changing my take on human nature. We do actually care about one an other. I am so impressed.

This is the log of my journey to create a documentary film on Roadside Memorials.
Where we Mourn:
‘The cemetery,’ wrote Thomas W. Laquer, ‘would not speak of a place but of people from all places … unknown to each other in life and thrown together in a place with which they might have had only the most transitory acquaintance’.
