Cherished - A Memorial V1

In the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, where I live, there is a town called Batoche. It was the scene of a major rebellion between the government and the Metis people in 1885 led by Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont.

There is a little graveyard there which was used back then but is still in use today. On my visit I came upon a row of little graves, belonging to children. On March 5, 1959, a fire swept through the Hrycuik home killing all 6 precious babies and their baby sitter. Where were mom and dad? Look closely at the information on the children, let your imagination go, and feel your heart break.
