You're a writer. This is your chance to have the last word - literally! - so what final witticism will be chiseled on your headstone? 'The End'? 'Full Stop'? 'To be continued...'?
What do you want on your tombstone?

LOL - actually, I shouldn't be laughing. I never thought of what to put on my tombstone, but I have - however - written my obituary. (not the plain obit, but the story)
I write LifeStories for the newspaper. I look through the obits and then call the families and ask if they would like for me to honor their loved one by writing a story about their life.
I realized no one could really write mine, so I have it written it and keep it with all the other "important" papers - under the mattress.

I don't want a headstone, just a stone marker with my name, birthdate, deathdate, and "Don't Tread on Me"

"She Lovingly Gave Of Herself, Without Limits"
Hubby said that about me once in a poem he wrote for my birthday. I think it would be nice to be remembered that way.

Here lies a number one best seller and unselfish philanthropist.
OK. so much for the lies, RT is dead and we buried him here. There is nothing more to say about this wuthless scoundrel.

I feel like I'm missing out...on my crappy screen I can't read the words. What does it say?
Mine will probably say:
Kristie
1975-(sometime in the future, hopefully)
Her last words were...
Hey, watch this!
