This has great depth; in "this place of living", where the dead rest, yet, we never really die. Profound.

I usually have my husband along with me so I am not free to talk, but I think about them and the life they lived. I need to go again to check to see if everything is in good shape with my parents' grave. This one reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page with such a kind review of my work. Sara
