I find myself liking this even though it is totally foreign to what I usually write and read.

Wow, very powerful! You definitely understand the power of few words. It's almost like a haiku, the way it gets under your skin. Write more! Please?

Absolutely unique - this one has me hunched over in a ball of shuddering, and sorrow.  This one tells a poignant story; a lifetime in such few words.  It's the first one I've seen of yours.  I'll be watching for more...

It's in the scarcity of your words that the power is found.  Such remorse, no relief - it says it all in the words "... fade to grief".

I am very impressed with your style, you have a way of making a very deep inpact with just a few words. Nicely done
