May My Tears Water Jan’s Garden
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 6 seconds
As much as grief is in my rearview mirror, I have cried a lot this year and admit that tears will flow freely and often in 2023.
My tears are not from grief but from missing Jan.
To say she was the love of my life is both true and a severe understatement.
Missing Jan is different than mourning her death.
As I seek to live my life more fully, I will miss her even more.
Her absence becomes more acute, although Jan’s spirit is still with me and always will be.
I pray I can collect my tears and carry them the thousand-forty steps to the Jan Lilien Memorial Triangle Garden at Hanson Park.
If granted that power, I will water the garden with my tears, so the flowers bloom with Jan’s love.
My love for Jan will never die; it will only grow stronger daily.
