Sunflowers by Simo

Do you know about Sophia's story?
Sophia was the little daughter of Lady Ingram, the widow of a wealthy landowner, who had left her alone with their three daughters; they lived in a small city near London, and they liked walking in the fields near their house because they gave them a beautiful sense of freedom from worries. The first daughter, already big, soon found a husband and moved to London; the second chose to study medicine and became a doctor in the new hospital, searching for new methods to treat sick people.
Therefore the youngest daughter, Sophia, grew up with all the attentions of the mother, who saw in her eyes the eyes of the dead husband. Sophia had never met her father because he had died before she had been born, and this troubled her, thinking she was the cause of his death.
She never spoke to anyone and spent all her afternoons in a sunflower field near home, where she watched her eyes in a mirror, thinking about the look of her father. Until one day she saw a man in the field , dressed in yellow, as sunflowers; he came towards her, then he looked at her sweetly and said: 'You must be like these flowers, which follow the one who gives them the life, but they are always beautiful and proud of what they are'.
Then he became light and returned to the sun.
