Memorial Gardens

A while back, I bought one of those tabletop gardens.
The one you can grow herbs in, such as lavender or flowers or basil.
A coworker had died, so I dedicated it as his memorial garden.
I wanted fresh herbs for my morning bagel at work, so I bought more gardens.
As coworkers died, I’d dedicate the gardens to them.
Eventually, I had enough gardens to maintain a supply of basil and chives for the bagels.
This Sunday, a coworker was murdered. But all the gardens were already dedicated.
So, I wiped off a name and replaced it with his.
