Comedy and Tragedy: Eight Photos
1. Apparently Mr. Roach played roughly with his Mrs. Roaches.
2. This is Michael Brown’s father before the burial of his son. The sweat. The pain. The community.
3. The Reapers favorite game? War. 
4. This clever piece of humor from the The Blonde Morticia:
5. Via Malformalady:
As some of you know my daughter was stillborn this year at full term. I will never get over that my womb became her grave. Now I can hold her hand forever.

6. From the blog Resting in West Moreland:
Walking through Saint Vincent’s Cemetery looking for monuments to fulfill photo requests we came upon this stone. No other stones close and no clue as to where J. F & E. F. BRIDGE are buried is seen. Now I can hardly imagine having 12 children let alone losing 12 children. J.F. & E. F. BRIDGE lost just that many in a span of 28 years.
The deaths of these children started in 1862 with a one year old child dying. In 1865 two children, a 9 and a 7 year old were gone. A 19 year gap is broken by the 1884 deaths of four children. Four children in one year. They were a 7 year old, an 8 year old, a 9 year old and a 10 year old. I checked for epidemics in the 1800’s none are listed for 1884 all though TB, Malaria or Scarlet fever could happen at any time none were listed as significant that year.

8. For one terminally ill patient, no hospital treatment could improve him quite like a visit from his dog.
James Wathen, 73, is a terminally-ill patient at Baptist Health Corbin in Corbin, Kentucky. His body frail and spirit weak, hospital staff were having difficulty improving Wathen’s condition. But Wathen whispered that he was missing his beloved one-eyed-Chihuahua named Bubba, the nurses leant forth their greatest efforts to reunite Wathen with his dog.
Nurses traced Bubba’s trail to the Knox-Whitley animal shelter, where they learned that the dog had been placed with a foster family after Wathen was admitted to the hospital. Bubba too had been showing similar signs of emotional grief after being separated from his owner. On Saturday, October 11, the nurses finally were able to reunite Wathen and Bubba. Wathen began to perk up, and was emotionally lifted as he pet and played with his dog.
