Explains it all.

An excerpt:

It goes beyond just documenting the facts. It goes to who I am, and why I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference.

It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family.
