Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Henry's Light Garden


--by WaterDog, posted May 6, 2019
Color and sparkle caught my eye while riding my bicycle. Circling back, I founda modest front yard garden with loads of little fun knick knacks, shells, toys and statuettes. While admiring the spectacle, an elderly woman came out the front door and I asked if she was the creator. While we chatted, I noticed the name"Henry" and asked who he was. She replied he was her husband. After learning he had passed, she thanked me for my expression of empathy for her grief. She mentioned that he had also enjoyed the garden and agreed that he probably still enjoyed the garden.

After hearing her surname Luz, I said, "de la Luz," and she said that actually was her full (sur)name.

She was "of the light." Of course!
