Surprise Sunday Evening Kindness

"Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree."
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge

After returning from a long trip on a Saturday night, I made a mental note to buy some fresh flowers on Monday.  On Sunday evening, one of my dearest mom friends texted me and asked me to guess where she was.  I guessed one of our favorite restaurants.  She then called me to say that she was on her way to my house -- no small feat as there was a major event where I live and traffic was backed up.  When I went out to her car to meet her, she had a bouquet of fresh flowers and some other treats for my family and me.  She explained that she had wanted to have the flowers waiting for me when I returned from my trip the day before.  This was much better, I assured her, as she was going out of town the next day and otherwise I would not have been able to see her.
