Heartbreaking Sign of Love

I came across this gravestone while exploring in my first year on 365. I never posted it, but I never forgot it. The heart shaped headstone, the one date, and then the fact that the grave is covered with smaller heart shaped stones tells such a story of heartbreak and loss. It reminds me of the best six word flash fiction I ever read - "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

This is so beautiful Laurie. Thanks.

@sabanford The weird thing is that I was talking about this headstone at dinner one night and it turns out this was Katie's cousin. Small world, huh?

[Shirley Banford]

Now that's hard to believe.

[Laurie Higgins]

@sabanford I know, right? He was a stillborn.

What a beautiful gravestone but such a sad story behind it.

[Rick Schies]

Such a touching visual

[Diana Moss]

I agree with Rick, so sad

[Sheralee S]

That is such a beautiful headstone! And the six word story almost had me in tears.

[Call me Joe]

Sad story but beautiful capture-love that 6word too.

[Tricia Kano]

Very sad story. Just tugs at your heart.

[Jessica]

I did not see this before. This is sad but beautiful.
