51. Nothing Like a Good Surprise

One of my best friends has been abroad since June and wasn't supposed to be coming home until Christmas. Neither of us were able to fly home after losing one of our best friends tragically in October so being home for thanksgiving was a necessity. My friend Jay was so upset he was missing out on thanksgiving break and had been complaining in our group chat as we were all landing back in New York that he was stuck in Europe. The day after thanksgiving, my mom had asked me to grab something from my friends mother for her so my brother and I drove over to grab it. As I am saying hello and catching up with my family friends, I get tapped on the shoulder and truly can't believe what I see.  Great break back with the best friends in the world.
