Sunflowers

Sunflowers were my sister Pam's favorite flower.  I was never a huge fan until last year when she passed away.   Now I see sunflowers everywhere! 

My next door neighbor has them growing over the fence, so I can see them from my kitchen window - they've probably been there for years, but I didn't notice them until last summer.  I will see sunflowers randomly when on a walk, or driving through the neighborhood.  I see them in the background on tv shows, movies, and commercials.  We even saw a field of sunflowers on the side of the road while driving to Florida a few weeks ago. My attempt at growing sunflowers didn't work out so well though. :)  I like to think that any time I see a sunflower, it's just my sister reminding me that she's still here with me in some special way.

Pam would have been 50 years old today (and she'd probably kill me for revealing her age!).  I still can't believe she's gone and that my babies will never get to meet their Aunt Pam, but they will certainly learn all about her through pictures and stories. 

Happy Birthday Pammy!  I love you!
