  This is one of the sweetest love stories you have ever heard. After his wife, Babbette,passed away from cancer at the age of 66, Don Jaquish did something incredible to honorher: he planted a four-and-a-half-mile stretch of sunflowers, her favorite flower, according to Popsugar.

  "She came to be known as the sunflower lady of the community," Don was quoted as telling& news , adding that "So after she passed away, I thought it would be a tribute to her toplant four miles of sunflowers on each side of [the highway]."

  Don planted the flowers — which cover nearly 400 acres — along Highway 85 in Wisconsinin June, and after over two months of growing, the flowers finally bloomed, making it atruly beautiful sight to see.

  It gets even sweeter: he plans to sell the sunflower seeds and donate a portion of themoney to hospitals and research, which is something Babbette had been passionate aboutthroughout her cancer treatment.
