Flowers

I've been best friends with C. for quite a number of years. Her brother was assaulted pretty bad and almost died. I would call her all the time to find out what was happening and how her brother was doing. She would visit him frequently and I could hear the sadness in ther voice when she would tell me of his injuries and his long road to recovery.

I know being there for her is what she needed but I wanted to do something special. So I talked to a co-worker to find out her schedule and ordered a basket of her favorite flowers to be delivered to her at work. The next day in the afternoon, I received a call--it was from C. who was overwhelmed with emotion that someone would do that for her.
