Flora2000

Jeffrey and I have been friends since high school. In fact, for the longest, we were best friends, but things got in the way–as ‘things’ often do.

We met at a local hangout, where Jeffrey approached me, and was actually the first person ever to hit on me instead of Kristin. I’ll never forget that. See, Kristin was my big-busted best friend. We were alike in every way, except for our approach to guys. They often pursued her, becoming friends with me in the process, and soon ran screaming from her. They always tried to spark something with me afterwards, but the rules of friendship prohibited me from ever exploring any possibilities.

Anyway, I digress–eventually Kristin came to lead Jeffrey on in a very rough way, and Jeffrey and I were so close, it was just the last straw for me. I ended my friendship with Kristin over the way she treated Jeffrey. That’s how strong mine and Jeffrey’s friendship was. I was more than willing to leave my best friend of so many years because of the way she treated him. After all, he’s my Ducky.

Years and miles have pushed us in different directions, and kept us from being able to keep in touch, but Jeffrey and I are back in communication. I don’t know if we’ll ever be back where we were, but I’ll always treasure the friendship we once had.

A common occurrence between us was to leave each other flowers. It was something we always talked about–how some guys appreciate flowers as well. Obviously not huge bouquets, but just a rose here or there to show you care.

Jeffrey’s stationed out of the country now. He was just married last year and is expecting his first child. I haven’t seen him in almost three years, and his current situation doesn’t allow for much constant communication.

I’d love to properly congratulate him on all the big events he’s recently experienced, and give him a little reminder of that friendship we once shared. I’ve actually just found out that with Flora2000, I can send flowers to 150 different countries with ease. Friday is payday and I think I might look into that if I can get in touch with Jeffrey to get some contact info for him and Jackie.

I can’t wait for Jeffrey to be back in Georgia. I’m looking forward to the possibility of re-sparking the bond we once shared.
