music never dies

So my mom and I did go to the memorial park (is that politically correct?) yesterday. It was much different than the first time we went..As soon as we pulled up we saw the giant monument in honor of the late Jimi Hendrix, and I asked her how could we possibly have missed this?! At least 10 people visited the same statue when we were there, and it just amazed me that this man has been dead for 40 years, and people still visit him. He was, and is still, a legend. I asked my mom if he ever imagined this..she said how could he? [[R.I.P. Jimi]] We spent some time taking pictures, reading his notes, and just admiring the beautiful creation. After that we walked around almost the whole park, just reading headstones..I was attracted to this huuuuge Chinese-palace-looking building,,found out it was dedicated to all the victims of Hurricane Katrina..the love of the donors melted my heart <3 Then we stumbled upon the section for soldiers..one stone touched me in particular,, it read "here lies a soldier known only to God." how sad..
that man whose legs you see let his dog poop in some flowers on Hendrix's plot..that was disturbing
this area of land was beautiful!

Rest in peace, beloved men and women. <3
