Jan’s Love is All I Need!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 14 seconds
As children of the sixties, Jan and I listened to The Beatles and learned the axiom; all you need is love!
Love’s meaning has been diminished by overuse.
We love our morning coffee, clothes, dinner, TV shows, and many items that are not true love.
The truth is that love, as Viktor Frankl wrote,
For the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth – that love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.
Until I met Jan, I honestly never understood love. She transformed my life, and my love for her will never die.
Approaching the second winter without Jan, I know that I still love her and that as long as I share her love, our love will never die!

Yesterday, JoAnn invited me to her Church, as she was preaching in place of her pastor, who was on vacation.
Her message was "Love Your Neighbor, Faith in Action."
JoAnn delivered an important message about how we are all children of God and deserve to be accepted as we are and to love and be loved.
On my grief journey, the love of family and friends, especially new widows, has made it possible for me to not only live without Jan by my side.
