I have a few reason why I could feel really sorry for myself right now. In fact I was feeling really sorry for myself. I am pretty good at that I think. I don't even think most people would fault me for feeling bad for myself right now. I am not there though. This is not the time. So on the drive back to my apartment this morning I stopped at the farm stand and pulled all the quarters I could find in my car to buy these flowers.
They are for Russ and Helen. They are for Nancy and Lori. They are for my mom and Nonna. They are for people who have it worse then me but still are so strong. I think these flowers must be a gift from Russ and Helen. There beauty, could only be heaven sent. I only pray that where they are now they are surrounded by sunflowers that never fade. Thank you Russ. Thank you Helen. Please hold a spot in the sunflower field for my grandmother when her time comes.
