John is always bringing me little “gifts”, whether it is something as simple as the salty Dutch licorice that was a treat as a child, or little watering cans that are scented candles, because I love gardening and candles….a journal with a cover that reminded him of the first trip we ever took together…there’s always something special and personal.

One afternoon, when he had been busy with work and meetings and helping friends, he arrived home with flowers.  I opened the wrapping to find a single sunflower; beautiful, and a yet a  very different choice than his usual selections— then he explained that he had heard that sunflowers are so-named because their brilliant yellow heads follow the course of the sun in it’s daily path through the sky.  The flower represented him.  In his world I am the sun, because like the flower, his thoughts followed me throughout the day.
