I thought I was going to have to purchase a sunflower, because some rotten, four-footed, evil creature ate the sunflowers we had growing in a pot on the front porch.
Stupid rodent.
As I was passing my son's art wall I looked up and saw his sunflower picture that's been there for over a year.
I immediately knew that Tina would love this picture because it was drawn by a little boy for his mother.
Tina, I'm sharing this with you.
Tina's family has also set up the Downey Education Fund, which will go toward a college fund for Tina’s two boys.

Lovely picture, Heather. It's a perfect tribute.
ReplyDeleteThat would make Tina cry...
ReplyDeleteYou know Tina would totally dug the art, she found beauty in everything and especially in the sunflowers. Thank you all for doing such great things for Tina, she would have loved it.

ReplyDeleteOmg your son's sunflower painting is a wonderful tribute to Tina!
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful way to post a photo in her memory that honors the very essence of why she was dear to so many people...because she cannot be duplicated, just like the painting. There is only one and there is only one Tina Downey. How lovely of you to present something so perfectly fitting for this day!

Perfect, just perfect!! Tina will love it.
ReplyDeleteI think you are correct, Tina would love that beautiful artwork. And for big rodents - yuck, and sorry to read it.
ReplyDeleteI love pictures drawn by children before someone tells them they've got the color "wrong" or the perspective is "off." This one was perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for the wonderful comments.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to conquer the list and get some wonderful sunflower vibes!

Hi Heather ... Tina would have loved your son's picture of his sunflowers to you .. she would definitely share .. such a great idea ...
ReplyDeleteShe was a special person .. cheers Hilary
I'm sorry to hear your sunflowers got eaten but that is a lovely picture and I'm sure Tina would appreciate it all the more. Lovely tribute!
ReplyDeleteHow incredibly sweet! That's a perfect way to do a tribute.
ReplyDeleteI think the thing I love most about this blog tribute that we've done to/for Tina is not only that it's so fun to learn more about her, but that each person's version of "her" flower is different. You are soooo right. She would love this one.
