One Brave Sunflower

Over the summer the kids and I planted some sunflower seeds in a few pots in the front yard. It took forever for them to grow! Slowly they started getting taller and taller, but still no flower! It is now November and most of them have died (without ever flowering), except one brave sunflower that didn't give up. Regardless of the lack of sun and the down pouring of rain one tiny sunflower is now standing strong. I have dedicated this sunflower to my Mom as a symbol of her courage and strength that she had when she went through months of cancer and treatments. Even though she is no longer with us I will never forget how strong, brave and surrendered she was. Even to the end she believed that God could heal her. He has healed her now! She is in perfect peace!
