chocolate dipped strawberries

last night i got together with some people who mean a lot to me.
the type of people that when you walk into the room with negativity, demand that you leave it at the door.
and seeing how yesterday was a particularly hard day for me, there was a lot of negativity when i knocked on that apartment door.
the difference with these people, is that i really feel like a person when i am with them.
we laugh. cry. get angry. eat food. make pranks. pray. and listen. together.

one of the guys was in charge of the dessert for the dinner we had last night. he could have picked up cookies from albertson's or a cake from vons.
but he didn't.
he brought chocolate dipped strawberries and bananas. that he hand dipped himself. he changed his shirt 3 times that day because of the dipping mayhem.

it meant a lot. not just the fresh shirt. but the thoughtfulness of others. when i am having a particularly crappy day.
and when doesn't chocolate make everything seem better?
