Ask Amy: Married couple ponders parenthood

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

I am the designated crypt-keeper of my family.

When I go to clean the graves of my relatives, I even chat with them, especially with my parents.

This does not hurt their memories at all. Both of my sisters live out of town and I even send pictures of the graves after I have tended them.

I think Annoyed needs to take a chill pill.

Dear Betsy: This question got a huge response from readers. I’ve enjoyed reading many tributes to loved-ones who have died, and many readers – like you – visit and talk to their family members at their gravesite.
