Where Tears Once Fell, a Garden of Love Grew

Life has a way of breaking us open, scattering pieces of our hearts along the winding path of loss.

For A&J, love didn’t arrive in a perfect moment wrapped in ease—it arrived after after deep loss in a season that taught them how to keep breathing when it felt impossible. They traveled this path together.

Love wove its course into the deep recesses of their hearts, planting seeds—seeds of resilience, of tenderness, of a love that would one day find them ready.

When their paths finally crossed, there was a soul-deep knowing that here was someone who understood the language of loss and still chose to speak the language of love.

Together, they tended to each other’s hearts gently, like gardeners who knew how delicate new life could be.

They honored the love and the losses that had shaped them, while building something new—something rooted not just in joy, but in deep understanding.

Where once there were tears, now there is laughter. Where once there was sorrow, now there is a love as enduring as the wildflowers that bloom bravely after a storm.

Their story reminds us all: even after the hardest seasons, love has a way of finding its way back to us, growing wild and beautiful in the souls of the two who joined together in one spirit the day they said, “I do.”
