When David died I went crazy and cried without stopping. I
wailed and yelled and would not be consoled. Everything was dark and there was
no hope to go on. When I was in deep despair I would go out for a walk or try
to garden. I designed a new garden and named it “David’s Garden”. I would dig in the dirt and just get lost in
the beauty of nature. Gardening connected me to God and to my son. Flowers dissipated
the gloom within my soul and brought sudden joy through my downcast spirit.
They put on a glow of many colors, all dressed in beauty and wonder. The air
was all perfume from their scent. People walk by and admire the garden and I
get to talk to them about my son.
