I have this friend of mine whom we had schooled together and even started our own partnership law firm after graduation before we both decided to explore other interests. We had been friends for as long as I could remember and every time I would stay even for a week without talking to her, she would show up at my doorstep without a notice to check up on me and so I made it a duty to keep in touch with her and life was good.
Occasionally we would meet and travel to sightseeing locations and have a great time as friends would. When she got married, we all had a splendid wedding party and it was even better because she got married to one of my friends as well. We were like one big happy family. Now, the day that she was blessed with triplets I had been posted further from them and making it to welcome the babies was almost impossible. So I had to find a way to try and be there for her and her family otherwise I would want to see her on my door step with those three kids, I live in a very cold city which would be a bad environment for them at that tender age. It had been snowing for a while and the weather was terribly bad. Flights were being cancelled and the roads, well the roads were not only impassable but it would take me forever to get to them. While waiting at the airport hoping to get a flight and connect, a lady who was sitting right next to me did something that enlightened me. She was holding a laptop and I could hear her talking over the phone to someone who sounded like her daughter. She was telling the person on the other end of the line to check her email address since she had sent her an “I Love You” eCard and was on her way. I had not used the service before but it took me only a few minutes to learn from the friendly lady and I sent my congratulations eCard to my friend. When i landed, she was glad that not only I made it but I remembered to send her the eCard. I found my friend had already booked a plane to come see me.
