One time while hiking off-trail in the San Gabriel mountains, I stumbled on a memorial bench. The bench was dedicated to a child who died just a few hours after birth. Given its remoteness, whoever installed the bench must have hiked the materials and tools in, climbing almost 2,000 feet over 5-6 miles, probably several times, transporting hundreds of pounds.
Contemplating that, the love this person felt to motivate that, I was overcome with emotion and had to sit for a while.
