I’m a sucker for sunflowers. My extended family originates in Kansas, aka the Sunflower State. One of my favorite published stories, included in Main Street Rag’s 2010 anthology, is named “The Sunflower State.” For years, we’ve taken sunflowers to a loved ones’ grave and I’ve got two important names tattooed on me along with a vibrant sunflower.
