my best friend

ok. so this is a little difficult for me to talk about butI figure this may be an appropriate time to bring up my favorite story of my best friend. So it begins. It's 7 or 8 months after college graduation, I have been living with Kim for 7 or 8 months I guess. Well we had gone engagement ring shopping just to try and get an idea of what she had in mind. She picked one out, and 2 months later when I planned on popping the question I realized I could not afford the ring she had picked out. Well, I was flat broke. I didn't know what to do, so I asked pete if he could help me out. To pete this wasn't a yes or no question. His immediate response was, "sure buddy, what do ya need?" The next day he gave me an envelope of cash, no ifs, ands, or buts. I asked him please not to tell anyone, and as far as I know other than me telling kim 2 years later, and maybe I let it slip on Monday, I don't think he told anyone. So. Here is to you buddy. I will never forget what you did for me. I love you like a brother, and I have for the last 20 years. Be nice to the angels.
