Visitation stones

Have you heard of visitation stones? They are special rocks or stones that people put in a place to remind them of a person they loved but who is no longer with them. It's like having a special memory of that person that you can hold onto when you miss them.

Imagine if your favorite toy was taken away from you forever. You would feel really sad and miss it a lot. But if you had a special rock that reminded you of your toy, you could hold onto that rock whenever you felt sad and it would make you feel better.

That's what visitation stones are like. People place them in a spot where they can visit and remember their loved one. Sometimes they even decorate the stone with pictures or sayings that remind them of that person. It's a way to keep their memory alive and to feel close to them even though they're not there anymore.

So, visitation stones are like special rocks that people use to remember someone they love who isn't with them anymore. It's like a way to keep that person's memory close and to feel better when they miss them.
