Today, I went to the Mount-Royal cemetery. This particular cemetary is known accross the world for its vastness, beauty, and the countless number of plots that are there dating back a few centuries.
I came across an area with the Heading "Sourds-Muets", translated into English comes pretty darn close to "Deaf and Dumb" Most of the plots in this area, about 50 or so, pre-date the second world-war. I didn't know which was more sad, the fact that we called them D&D or that they had tiny little plots with their year of death on them. Passed away without much fan-fare I can imagine. Today, I mourn for these people. May they rest in peace. And thank you Celina Mailloux S.-M. 1938.
