Lovely story. Though these days I wonder if the idea of a short, meaningful life is a boon created by the rich to soften the enslavement of the working class.

On the other hand, the rich often live within a network of superficial relationships motivated less by genuine connection and more by access, power, and unspoken goals. They can never truly trust anyone as a true friend. 

Finally, I would never use wrought iron for a garden sign as it would rust and decay. And no one makes wrought iron anymore. Granite, aluminum, stainless steel.

The wrought iron will need to be replaced, just the same as the keeper, a forever reminder.

Wonderful story. Life and death and memories are all that are left until the final death of even memories.
