An e-quaintance I’ve never really met…

by macewan on November 6, 2007

Hey there I'm Robert MacEwan the author of Ideal Absolutes. If you're new to macewan.org, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.

For years of I’ve emailed “AndrewG” and discussed Linux-related issues. As in all long-term correspondence, conversations sometimes became personal. AndrewG’s sister got married, his mother went through chemo-therapy, and he moved to London. Now he is getting married. I want to send some flowers to the restaurant where the reception is being held.

Flora2000, begun in 1999, is a leader in international floral delivery and gift baskets. The company successfully delivers to over 150 countries. Since the wedding is going to be celebrated in December, AndrewG says his wife will be decorating with traditional holiday colors — deep reds, dark greens, and silver and gold sparkle-things. I know that when I contact Flora2000 and describe what I want to send, they will make sure something gorgeous is designed for the couple. When sending a gift/floral arrangement to someone far away, you have to find a reliable source from which to order — a company you can depend on not to embarass you by sending something cheesey and cheap. A company that gives you quality when you send them for your hard earned cash. Flowers impress and convey friendship. AndrewG and his new bride will be able to look at the arrangement I buy and smile — knowing our lasting friendship spans the globe and is real, not just an online chat.

I have one photo of AndrewG and he’s walking through a street-fair with his parents somewhere in England.

Thanks for the link. I have an e-friend that just lost his mother over the weekend and I think he deserves flowers, too.

I hope he feels better, and may he get a lot of flowers and support throughout this hard ordeal.
