Maria Died First

Sometimes the saddest stories are the ones that aren’t printed in a book or sung in a song or made into a movie.

Those stories are quiet and they are buried under a carpet of golden leaves.

These pictures are of three graves- one is the daughter’s grave, she died at age 26, then her Father followed her in death and long after they were gone her Mother died.

The saddest stories are written in stone and marble and sometimes late at night, they shine in the darkness.

I have been trying so hard to find inspiration in the Christmas season for my stories- but I’m not finding it.

It doesn’t feel like  a case of writer’s block but right now all I want to do is to curl up and sleep until September.

How sad is this?

Let me toss an answer out there.

It’s pretty darn sad.

Broken

These are some of the aged tombstones I found when I was exploring cemeteries in Wisconsin last month.

They may be broken, but they are still beautiful and they still have a story to tell.
