Inspired by my dear angel friend Nicole Jong, this arrangement is to honor and remember her radiant smile and creative brilliance. She bravely lived with dysautonomia, PoTS, and mental illness, yet never stopped caring for others or advocating for inclusion through Just Like Us and the LGBTQIA+ community. For every Picnic in the Park arrangement ordered, a $50 donation will be made in her honor.
This arrangement is for those looking to express comfort, remembrance, and heartfelt sympathy during difficult times. Picnic in the Park is best appreciated alongside Lullatone’s song Falling Asleep with a Book on Your Chest and Sarina Qureshi’s poem Nicole’s Light.
In a place we grew up where the grass is green you sit there with us, a smile so gleam
The sun is shining through the trees with a gentle subtle breeze, your hair moves through the wind with such ease
We laugh and catch up like time has never passed
What’s going on with you and me, life really moves fast
This is the image of you in my head, so beautiful and happy, cracking up from the things we said
Inside jokes, gossip, and politics, between you and I the conversations just click
No topic to spare, no disagreements, because somehow, between you and I, our opinions were just agreements
I still picture you there on a picnic blanket in the spring, not knowing what the next few years would bring
I like to believe you are still laying in grass so green, with the sun shining through the trees, with your hair moving through the breeze, whichever color you choose it to be
There is a bright light in our lives, like the one that was shining down on us that day, except now this light shines down from you, a constant reminder of how much we miss and love you
