Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, The Netherlands has the most beautiful, jaw-dropping display of flowers you could ever imagine. In my next post, I will tell you more about them and share with you some of the flowers that were simply amazing. But for now, I want to explain why I chose the Japanese Garden section of Keukenhof as the place where I sprinkled some of Dave’s ashes.
Keukenhof is one of the main tulip attractions in Holland. As beautiful as the colorful flower displays are, millions of tourists visit during the very brief tulip season. Dave’s ashes are sprinkled in amazing places all over the world in quiet, out-of-the way beautiful places; places I know he would love. I truly thought that despite the beauty of all the flowers, it was not the right place for Dave’s ashes. I was disappointed that there were just too many people.
But then I came upon the Japanese Gardens. The serene landscape, bubbling brook, and endless fields of bluebells spoke to me that this was another fantastic place for Dave. The tourists seemed to have forgotten this small part of the park. It was tranquil and beautiful. It bordered on fields of colorful tulips inaccessible to the tourists. I sat for a while and absorbed the beauty of this special place.
It was perfect.
