Garden Of Angels
(GAIL WESCOTT)
After laying dozens of tiny souls to rest, an American Woman takes up the fight to save young lives.
She has conducted the most Solemn of rituals again and again, in the antiseptic crypts of the corner's office. After removing the plastic wrap Debi Faris washes the rocks each baby. You can always see a face and I never forget it she says. I rub their little hands and toes and say a prayer that people will be touched by this child. I take my time. Then i wrap the baby in a handmade blanket place it in a casket with toys and poems and carry it to the car for the ride back. I need to be alone for the drive I need the Silence.
Faris 47 drives to the garden of Angels a small cemetry on a wind swept hill. Six years ago Faris founded the garden which has become the final resting placefor 54 babies to date all of them abandoned in trash bins tossed along highways or washed upon beaches. He know every one of the cildren stories. Faris says i have become their voice. Even if they were just here for a moment I believe they were here for a purpose and that purpose is to make sure we stop having burials in the Garden of Angels.
