A Future Walking With Jan’s Spirit
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 27 seconds
My sound test on Zoom is a simple chant.
I test the microphone by saying, “I love Jan! I miss Jan!”
The message proves the microphone works and adjusts my frame of mind, so I am ready, willing, and able to host the Zoom call.
Yet, the change in the atmosphere does not fill the gap left in my heart since Jan died.
The OMordy Quotes help me put into perspective my circumstances,
What’s destroyed can still be rebuilt, what’s lost can still be found, what’s broken can still be mended, an end is not always the end, it can also be a basis for a new and better beginning.
My life with Jan has been erased, and I cannot simply mend my brokenness.
My work with the Jan Lilien Memorial Triangle Garden and Wind Sculpture at Hanson Park and the Jan Lilien Education Fund will keep Jan’s name and memory alive and define my life’s boundaries with only Jan’s spirit.
I do not know how many nights I have to view Jan’s Wind Sculpture glowing below the radiance of the moon I have left, but I know that Jan will always be with me in spirit and guide me into the future.
The Jan Lilien Education Fund sponsors ongoing sustainability and environmental awareness programs. Gifts made this month; I will match dollar-for-dollar. All donations are tax-deductible.

Investing Jan’s Love in My Future
As much as I miss Jan, continuing to live is the only choice I have ever had.
Like George Burns, I could not cry forever.
One day at a time, I stepped into an unknown future with Jan's love and spirit next to me.
Within days of burying the love of my life, I tied my walking shoes and embarked on a journey to define the boundaries of my new life.
