Wind in Our Hair, Dreams in Our Hearts!
Estimated reading time: 0 minutes, 55 secondsOn August 9, 1975, Jan and I were married on the outdoor terrace of a nineteenth-floor apartment at 7 West 86th Street in NYC.
As we said our vows and exchanged wedding rings at sunset, we looked over Central Park as twilight descended.
As we aged, there were moments when we forgot, as Khalil Gibran taught us that the “earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”
As our hair grew shorter and we found fewer places to walk with bare feet, we never gave up on our dreams of a family, community, and Tikun Olam. Soon, Jan’s Memorial Triangle Garden in Hanson Park will allow us to feel the wind in our hair and our bare feet on the ground.
Our love will never die; it will only grow stronger every day.

Epitaph: Love Never Dies
Estimated reading time: 0 minutes, 55 secondsMy daughter-in-laws Karen Tillou and Elyssa Nucero read Epitaph by Merrit Malloy at Celebrate Jan Day, April 24, 2022.
Love doesn’t die,
People do.
So, when all that’s left of me
Is love,
Give me away.
