I don't visit the graves of my relatives because there are reminders all around me that they are here, walking past my window, working in the garden and always in my dreams. Your pillar looks like a natural part of the landscape, may it long endure. Nicely done Grandad.

The reasons for keeping it are far better and more beautiful than the reasons for removing it. People and their cars will come and go, let the pillar endure. Stand your ground, Grandad.
