A Fella wears a Viscous Dress at a Funeral. When I learnt the Truth, it Broke Me
09:35
Before john left for Afghanistan,
they made a bet with his friend Larry. John jokingly made his best friend Larry
promise him that if he was killed in action, Larry would fulfill this funny but
yet sad promise.
Two years later, Larry heard of
the devastating news. His best friend had been killed in action. He knew
exactly what he had to do.
On the day of the funeral, Larry
squeezed himself into a little black dress and pulled up a pair of lime green
knee socks. He then poured himself a glass of vodka, their favorite drink and
toasted to his best friend.
He and John had a deal, and he
was therefore very determined to hold up to his part of the bargain.
John had made Larry promise that
if he was killed in action, Larry would wear a tiny dress to his funeral.
Initially, the joke was Larry’s
idea. A little black dress and long knee socks – lime in color to complete the
outfit.
During John’s funeral, Larry’s’
attire raised a few eyebrows but no one really asked as they knew the promise
Larry had made with his deceased best friend before his untimely death.
Larry was doing well but as he
bent down to ask his best friends if he liked the dress, he broke down, realizing
that his best friends would never answer.
This sad story serves as a heartbreaking
reminder that truly good friends are hard to come by and it is even harder and
devastating when they finally have to leave us forever.
Good friends are hard to find,
harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
