Every so often one of my friends really goes above and beyond to prove why they are my favorite people on earth.
- They always have my back, but there are occasions when someone really goes the extra mile to show their love.
This was the case two weeks ago when I was having a particularly hard time with my boyfriend. I had been calling my friends repeatedly with my complaints and frustrations, and I assumed they were getting pretty tired of hearing from me. I went off to work early one day just to get out of the house, and was surprised to get several messages from my pals as the day progressed. When I got home, I found out why. I got there to see a large box sitting on the stoop, roasting in the sun. The package felt burning hot when I picked it up, and I almost dropped the box in shock when I touched the 100 degree rectangle. When I got inside, I opened it to reveal a dozen completely limp and toasted flowers. Apparently my dear friends had sent me a bouquet to lift my spirits, but the flowers were delivered after I left for work. Because no one was home to move them inside, to the cool indoor air conditioned environment we keep all summer long, the flowers had simply sat in the desert heat all day. I hoped that getting some AC late was better than nothing, but even in our modern AC the flowers never perked up again. Still, I appreciated my friends’ beautiful gesture and failed to mention the heating disaster.
