My Heart Will Go On

I couldn't resist a visit to the Fair View Lawn Cemetery early Sunday morning, before we left Halifax.


More than a hundred passengers and crew who went down with the Titanic, many of whom were never identified, are buried there.




My traveling companions waited in the car, Googling frequently visited grave sites (Michael Jackson and Shakespeare are among those who top various lists), until Magda learned that one tombstone identified a certain Jack who inspired the hero of the top-grossing movie of all time.


Magda instantly jumped out of our SUV to mourn him in song.  Apparently blasphemy pays on social media:  Magda's Snapchat got more likes than ever before and it's among my top five most-viewed videos!
