~~~ From the Editor ~~~

I dont usually include in my Tip of the Week a story that is simply *feel good* romance. Most of what I post on my website and here in my newsletter has to have some sort element that can be recreated by many.

But the story I received this week was so touching I decided it was worthy of including. I think you will too.

Have a loving week. — Michael

Labor of Love
by Anonymous
http://www.TheRomantic.com

My lover always loved her vegetable garden. Every Spring she looked forward to breaking ground, working on the raised beds, planting seeds and seedlings and harvesting her own food.

I knew she had a progressive lung disease when I met her, but didn’t expect it to progress so rapidly. The last Spring she started talking about giving up her garden – it was too difficult to maintain, took too much energy. I promised her as long as she lived that she would have a vegetable garden.

Despite the fact that I hated bugs and couldn’t tell the difference between a weed and a Walla Walla onion, I turned over her ground by hand, and I dug trenches tossing soil to the sides to make the raised beds. I composted, fertilized, and seeded the garden. My Dana was able to plant some of the seedlings and harvest the crop, but I made sure it was watered and weeded. She would sit in her garden with oxygen tank next to her picking beans or tending to a sick zucchini, and she looked so happy.

She died the following winter. That was seven and a half years ago, but every spring I still break ground and plant my seedlings in my own garden, and I send a thank you prayer for all of the gifts my Dana gave to me, and the one gift I was able to give to her. My labor of love.
