What is recorded here

Graveyard in Portaliff OR Townparks marks a buried life in County Cavan, though the names and dates have slipped from ordinary memory. It is the kind of place where people stopped being certain about themselves and became accountable to others. The missing detail does not diminish it; it redirects attention from praise to judgment. What is remembered must be capable of changing when wrong, and what is forgotten must not be invented to make the speaker comfortable.
