FRIENDS ARE FLOWERS IN THE GARDEN OF LIFE

When my apartment buzzer sounded today, I wondered if I should answer it. I hadn't been expecting any visitors or parcel deliveries and didn't want to have to speak to anyone doing marketing because I was still in my PJ's! Instead, a jolly voice introduced himself and told me he had a delivery with my name on it. Maybe the Strawberrynet order I placed the previous day was here already? But surely not... 

I met the fellow outside the elevator and, as he emerged, he chuckled and called out "SURPRISE", handing me THE BEST delivery I could have imagined. Gorgeous hot pink roses from my beautiful, caring best friend. Kind hearted and never ever mean-spirited, she thinks of others before herself and I for one count myself so lucky that she would want me as a friend. To my dear Kate: Thank you a million times over, not only for the beautiful roses but for being the most wonderful friend for all these years.
