This Man Gave A Sunflower to A Stranger, But What Happens Next Will Touch Your Heart. READ HERE!

As John Green said in one of his novels, “We are all infinitely interconnected… and no one is dead as long as someone is still alive.”, it seemed to be strongly proven in this touching story.

A certain Danny Wakefield had jitters of giving a sunflower to his date the previous night thinking he might come off too strong. So he decided to grab the sunflower from the windshield where he left it earlier for his date and instead of throwing, he decided to give it someone else. He doesn’t have anyone in particular to give it to, so when he was sitting in a coffee shop and heard this nearby woman reading and crying silently, he knew that the sunflower is for her.

When he got to the table, he said to the woman: “hey pardon me. I have this sunflower to give to someone special and that someone I had in mind didn’t work out, but I can feel that you’re special too, so I want you to have it.”

This is where the woman broke into big sobs and give Danny a hug of gratitude. What she said next broke Danny’s heart and Danny told it his way in his post:

“She was crying because her fiancé had died the week before, just months before they were going to get married. On their first date he brought her a sunflower and from then on, got her sunflowers, never roses, because she was the light of his life.

Today, through me, he was able to show her that she’ll always be the light of his life and how we as humans have a message to carry that goes far beyond words.”

As of writing, the post has garnered more than 180k likes and 78k shares.

“Last night I bought a sunflower to put on the windshield of someone I’m smitten with. After some consideration I decided not to since we had only been on one date, the night previous. Don’t want to come off too strong, right? Anyway, I grabbed the flower on my way out this morning with the intention to give it to someone on my way to work so it didn’t die alone. What happened next has left me changed in ways I don’t even have words for yet.”

“While I was sitting and drinking my morning joe at the coffee shop (which I typically take to go), I saw a woman reading something with tears quietly and quickly sliding down her pale face. It was like there was a magnet in the sunflower that was being drawn to her, because I knew in that moment she was who I was going to give the sunflower to; she was who I had to give it to.

When I got to her table I said, ‘hey, pardon me. I have this sunflower that I was hoping to give to someone special and that someone I had in mind didn’t work out, but I can feel that you’re special too, so I want you to have it.’

Before I could even hand her the sunflower, this complete stranger flew into my arms with tears flowing, and gratitude spewing, as if I was someone she once loved, and lost. It’s what she said next that I’m still trying to grip.”

“She was crying because her fiancé had died the week before, just months before they were going to get married. On their first date he brought her a sunflower and from then on, got her sunflowers, never roses, because she was the light of his life.

Today, through me, he was able to show her that she’ll always be the light of his life and how we as humans have a message to carry that goes far beyond words.”

“I’m shaken, awaken and feeling raw. You never know how much a simple gesture of giving someone a $ 5 flower will change their life, as well as yours. Life is about giving and being of service to others. I challenge you all to find a way to make someone else’s life just a little bit brighter today and be of service. You never know the impact you could have.

Please feel free to share this, and a little extra love.

I dare you do the same and give a sunflower to someone you don’t know. Be a part of the good; be a part of the #sunflowerchallenge.”
