Sunflowers
June 17, 2020
David was ten yrs older than me. I was also the only girl and in his words absolutely to be adored was his baby sister. I always figured they wanted to put me back lol. But anyway we lived in Springfield Illinois and I believe it was on Taylor Ave where are back yard was fenced. Was like a duplex while our house was rebuilt. There was a space between our s and the neighbors and separately fenced and this is where they grew prize winning sized sunflowers. I was chased back there and cornered by Brad and he knew I was terrified of these huge flowers. They weren't just taller but there head's were twice that of mine lol. I'm sure them watching little shop of horrors with man eating Venus fly traps didn't help. But I remember sitting in that corner crying thinking I was gonna be eaten! I mean I was truly terrified! And he came out the door in a towel to see what was going on. He started to walk out there to get me and I I let out this shrill scream to stop and go back and he asks why missy? I didn't want him to be eaten too. He walks out there and picks me up and calms me down. I remember him telling me he would always be there to save me from those bad monsters lol. Obviously he meant more than those sunflowers. Throughout our lives we didn't always see eye to eye bit when thing we're bad he was always there. No space or distance stopped him. It's been four yrs and I don't think I'm ever gonna get to a place where it's ok. I love you David ❤️. Ur lil sis.
