I'm linking up this week for Write on Edge's first writing prompt for 2012. For this week, write a fiction or creative non-fiction piece in which an epitaph features prominently.This can be a short as the epitaph itself, or the epitaph can be part of a longer story.
For my children......
Gretchen Emily 1976-2006
Sweet and innocent
Eric Paul 1984-2006
Bright and curious
Loving and well loved
They were raised together
Sister and brother
They died together
Praise God
They were raised together
You wove some joyful characteristics in there, but still...too young. Much too young. :(
ReplyDeleteAh, (sigh).
ReplyDeletem.
Sad and uplifting, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to think about what others will remember us by. Hmm... I wonder what people will say about me on my epitaph?
ReplyDeletethis is so sad. Much too young...
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough one to read. The loss of children can be the hardest to bear. Still, your words show how much they were loved.
ReplyDeleteDevastating. A beloved tribute to beloved children.
ReplyDeleteHow completely unthinkable. Beatifully written, but unthinkable.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
Sigh.. it hurts my heart when I think of the death of a child much less two.
ReplyDeletewonderfully written and I send you a virtual hug.
SO sad but so beautiful and well written at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed sad, but what a gift to be able to share this. Thanks for letting us in.
ReplyDeleteI find this topic that they chose to be very disturbing. Not gonna lie.
ReplyDeleteShit...I want to take back that comment but it won't let me.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to add that I am so sorry so so sorry that you had to experience that loss. I didn't mean that your post was disturbing...I just thought that it was a very odd topic that they chose to talk about...
I think I just dug myself a hole here.
I'm so sorry.
I wasn't in the least offended. Tell me the truth what i want on this blog- truth telling.
ReplyDeleteI know you and I know you weren't saying anything bad about me or my kids! It was about the prompt; i got that!
Really i did.
