The Sunflower

What a day for this California sunflower. A cloudy day - the perfect sky to really make that yellow POP!

I want to give loving thanks to my great friend, Mike, who unassumingly helped hike, talk, drive, and see me through many tough months after my stroke. This photo was taken on one of our hikes in the local foothills.

Mike, I know I wasn't always easy to be around, but I'm so glad you were there. You were a REAL brother to me, in all the ways I needed most. Thanks for your friendship and everything you put into helping me and my partner. You were our rock. Your faith in me, and in us, never wavered. You are that sunflower!

You and Krista showed me what true support and friendship are: Kindness, not control. Patience, not pressure. Listening to understand, not "fish." Selflessness, not presumption. I won't ever forget your gift to me!   With love and gratitude,  Jim
