Each epitaph is well-written yet I relate to the
last one the most. It mirrors my life in an odd-sort
of way. (Long story) Reindeer, you did GREAT!
Brilliant Job! Brava!

They sure tell the tale of a once hoped for magical life, only to have the dreams shipwrecked..

These are heartwrenching poems..

such sadness...was your life that bad? the first one particularly moved me to tears...you were and ARE a shining light in my world, and you have done something--you've written some damn powerful poems and given me encouragement and friendship, what more could i need?

now look what you did--you made me ramble. you are special to me, okay, kiddo? never give up--and may your pen never run dry

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. *tears tears tears*

Great Epitaphs. Very sad thoughts of a life, but described very well in very few words.

Retta,

All good, but I like # 3 the best. Husband and Wife are only titles given. If one or the other doesn't acknowledge the meaning of the titles then life becomes a oneway street. Well written.
