I came home today to find this lovely bunch of flowers waiting for me, sent to me by my friend R. It's not my birthday, they're not apology flowers, or thank you flowers. They are, as the card says, "just because".
R and I have been friends for years, but sometimes months go by without us seeing each other, or even speaking. Which is fine. We have one of those friendships that keeps going anyway, and we can always pick up where we left off with no trouble. I don't have to talk to R to know that he thinks of me, and vice versa. Even if it's been months, if I phone R any time day or night and say I need him, I know he'll be over in a flash. And I would do the same for him.
All the same, it's nice to know that he was thinking of me, and that he cared enough to do something to brighten my day "just because". R knows I adore getting flowers, and it doesn't happen often enough for my liking! He knew it would make me happy, and I'm touched and grateful that I have people in my life who will do little things like this for me, for no reason other than that they care and want to let me know they do. I knew anyway of course, but it's always nice to be told!
