I wake up this morning. I read a message from Barry:
Dont worry I want tell anyone.
I write back:
Thanks that means a lot to me.
I think for about minute or two I then write back:
Hey Barry,
I would not mind if you told. I dont want you to be protecting me, I am the one who was in the wrong the entire time. You should put her best interests in place not mine.
If you feel it right, tell her.

So I am thinking at work. About Mary and Jerry. They were there for almost all the encounters with Carrie. I should do something for them as well. They are to credit for the great memories I have as well as Carrie. Especially Mary. Without her I would have never met Carrie. If she was not there to accompany Carrie to the library on our first meeting, I dont think we would have been friends.
Well for Mary I will just do what I was going to do for Carrie, but what about Jerry Hmmm Flowers seem a little weird for a straight guy to give to a straight guy, and he doesnt play Magic, and I dont know if a card would do justice with him. I will just explain that to him if this gets all fixed up. I might just have to by him some smokes or something.

As I am walking home I see a sign for a florist. Coincidence I dont believe in them. I remember the number on the sign as I walk on by.
I get home and call them up. I ask if I could send a card with some flowers that I send. They say sure. I ask how long it would take to deliver flowers. They say as long as I get it to them a day in advance everything will be cool. Good. I have obtained the info I need.
***********
I check my messages, and Barry has sent something back:
Til,
I think you have not understood the meaning of being a gentleman. They do things that are apprehensible. They do things because it is the right thing to do. They make should that nobody is ever hurt.
So no I am not going to tell what you said or what you are planning on doing.
Best regards,
B
I write back:
Barry,
Thank you for the lesson.
But I fell I have been talking about me way too much.
How are things going for you?

I devised the plan:
Step 1:
Go down to the Sentry Box and pick up some Magic cards for Carrie
Step 2:
Go down to Hallmark and pick up two greeting cards. They should say thank you or be blank. Pick up two envelopes while there.
Step 3:
Write some thank you notes in the cards that were bought. Put the Magic cards into Carries envelope. Put Marys card into her envelope.
Step 4:
Go to the florist and buy some flowers. Give them the enveloper to deliver with the flowers.
Step 5:
Wait (I have been good at this one.)
This is a plan to gain back the friendship. I want to fight for it now more. I must keep up this winning attitude.

I also start a journal on one of those journal sites that is live.
I was thinking about starting one before this all happened. I dont know why I waited until now.
My first entry:
Well, I wanted to start one of these journals for a while. I guess I just got inspired by a good friend of mine to start this.
She was a very good friend to me
I have started putting a plan into motion. A plan to do something nice for her. I just hope she likes it. I dont want her to get hurt by what I am doing. I am doing this to be a gentleman. I have been taking lessons. Hopefully she will like it
Threes phases left in the plan
hope you are ok too!!
