So, about a year ago I heard this really interesting story on NPR one night from these guys about coming up with a six word epitaph for your own tombstone. Every now and then I think about that story.
Today was one of those days. It was on my mind as I drove all over the place doing errands and the best one I could come up with was this:
She loved her husband and children.
But I think it's exactly enough.
Think about yours. It makes your soul feel better.

That sounds just perfect. I'll have to think about this. If I can't come up with anything better, it looks like we'll have matching headstones.
I did mine a while back; I love yours.
Very nice. Maybe mine would say: Here lies Stephanie. She tried hard.
"She and her phone... both dead." Story of my life. I really need a new cell phone battery.
I've seen a whole list of these. I will have to do some thinking on it. I like yours though..and it probably fits a lot of us!
I just woke up, so I will have to think about this when I'm conscious.
I think I'd have to steal yours. That's exactly what I'd want people to know about me.
If I were going for funny, I might say "She was a heifer beast daily."
Can't say much better than that, eh?
Love it.
Heather really liked reading Write Stuff.
I do, but that isn't really what mine would say.
I want to steal yours too.
So, I'm in a saucy mood. How about:
Big Tits. Long Legs. Smokin A##.
Could I be remembered for anything better?
What? Not appropriate? I'll have to get back to you later then.
Man, I don't know what I'd want on my toombstone.I just want something garrishly big (tee,hee)
How about --Loved adventure, loved passion, experienced both.
Nice. Is your copy written? Because I think I'm gonna use it.
I never limited myself to a few words in life so I don't see why I should have to in death. Which leads me to something like this:
"Can't talk now that I'm dead."
But if I had to give a serious answer it'd have to be something along the lines of:
"Live faithfully; let's reunite in heaven."
I may have to think a while to come up with one that works best. Perhaps I'm crazy in that I would like to have a "final word" read to those who attend my funeral.
Good one.
I like this idea. But for some reason, I think I'm in a bad place in my head to do one. I keep thinking of things like "Well, she could have done better." I hope I remember this when I'm happier.
I love that! Your blog is awesome!!
So glad to have found your blog! I love the way you write. I am SO following. :)
I think I'd have to copy yours. You wouldn't begrudge a dead woman a little plagiarism, would you?
I have a small collection of funny epitaphs...I wanted to do my front lawn on Hallowe'en with gravestones...never have.
"I told you I was sick!"
I like yours, and Wendy's.
Wife, Mom, Musician, Seamstress, Peacemaker, Friend.
Hmmm. That is interesting.
How about "She seriously blogged her brains out!"
hee hee hee
Do I win something for that?
