How I’d love to see their garden — yes, it will always be “their garden”. I’m glad that their daughter haas chosen to keep it as it always was and I can only imagine how moving it must have been for you to stroll about its paths.

I feel like I would have loved your aunt and uncle. The poem is such a tender and poignant view of love from an ordinary daily life perspective and it touched me deeply. The garden is exactly the kind of garden I most enjoy and find as sanctuary against all the challenges that lie outside a home’s perimeter. I am so glad you shared this with me. ox

Its so wonderful that this home did not get sold to strangers but has stayed in the family to be cherished. Not only do I see so much love put into this backyard, but through his poem, this was a couple very much in love and it cleared showed through what they did. So glad you shared this.
