Sunflowers
Oh how we love sunflowers. Last year we tried so hard to grow sunflowers from Grandpa Grocho's sunflower seeds however turns out we were raising a very hard weed. This summer we planted new seeds in hopes of watching a few sunflowers grow in memory of Grandpa. These amazing giant sunflowers grew and created a sunflower wall on the side of the house. I have to admit every time I looked out the window or heard the boys talk about them it brought joy to my heart knowing that Grandpa would be so proud.
In a nearby town there is a sunflower field that blooms every summer in memory of a little girl named Maria that died from a rare form of brain cancer. We have always wanted to visit the field when it is full bloom but weren't able to make until this year. What a beautiful sight to see but at the expense of such a sweet life lost.
The sunflower will forever have a special place in my heart for many reasons.
A colleague of mine, 2nd grade teacher in our building, has been battling cancer for over four years. She lost her battle at the beginning of the school year and her only wish to spread love through sunflowers. Her husband and daughter are creating these beautiful wooden sunflowers to be placed in her memory. It is amazing how many sunflowers we see in the city.
