To mourn or not to mourn?

Earlier this year my family's 15 year old diabetic, arthritic, blind poodle passed on to a happier place. I was unable to make it to the funeral, however, just recently I visited his grave behind our NY home. I must admit I felt somewhat sad as I first set eyes on that simple grave marker with the larger 'W'. As I looked closer though, my nerdy designer side realized what a great 'W' my brothers had made. I felt better knowing that Willie had been laid to rest with style.
