You inspire me to get thinking about my tombstone.
Any one of those would surely help me to rest in peace.

Really beautiful, and especially poignant, given your recent comment on {the kindness of strangers}, which was beautiful, and very moving -- thanks so much for sharing such a lovely story.

So beautiful. And thanks for the tag... now I know I should avoid Joan Didion at all costs.

Thanks, everyone. Aren't they incredible and heartbreaking?

Raina - No, I don't watch it but I looked up your link - that's an interesting, scary premise.

these are beautiful. Cemeteries are so haunting, especially old ones; and nothing breaks the heart quite like seeing childrens' tombstones.
