One Thistle
Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 09:46PM 
Marcus and I took this picture yesterday. This is the one flower blooming at our new building. It is a single thistle. The rest of the yard is mud. This thistle seems to have thrived in the flood waters; the deep tap root was steady in the storm. It soaked in the water and is stronger and more beautiful. I love that there is just one on the side lot. One is all we need to remember the thousand more that can bloom from its seeds. I love you all. That's enough of a sign for me.

Becca,
I am preparing for your award in a few weeks from our alumni association and had never thought of this until I came across this blog. The thistle is a symbol that my husband and I share for our relationship. When we first started dating, I was living in Nashville and he was living in Fayetteville, TN. I would travel to visit him and would notice these beautiful flowers on my travels. I asked him what they were and he was taken aback. He said most farmers view them as weeds, but he had never realized the beauty in them until my comment. We occasionally give each other a gift with the image of a thistle on it. It has been our little thing since we were married 16 years ago.
It is very meaningful to us, but what you have done with the 'thistle' is so much more amazing. Thanks for all you so!
