In the locker room this morning, I overheard a woman telling a friend that her husband just purchased a tombstone. She was upset, in part, because he didn't consult her about it at all. But it's easy to imagine being upset for all sorts of reasons. Why would he think, after a lifetime together, that he should do it without any input from her? I suppose it also involves considering what will become of his, and her, remains after they die, something they maybe should talk over. And what would prompt a husband to decide, suddenly, that purchasing a tombstone is urgent? And how do you even choose a tombstone - what are the criteria? And how do you know if you got a good one?
Ick.
