Remembering Friendships with a Gift Card
Touching Stories
A Cup of Coffee and A Walk Down Memory Lane
You’re scrolling through your phone on a regular afternoon when a notification pops up.
"You’ve received a gift!"
Curious, you open it - it's a digital gift card for your old favourite coffee shop, sent by someone you haven’t talked to in years.
Your heart skips a beat. It’s from her.
The friend who once knew you better than anyone. The one you used to meet at that little café on the corner, where the barista knew your order by heart. Where you’d sit for hours, swapping stories, making big plans, and laughing until your sides hurt.
But life happened. Work got busy. Maybe you moved, maybe they did. Messages became fewer and farther between, and eventually, the friendship faded into the background. Not because you didn’t care - just because time has a way of slipping through your fingers.
Yet here it is, a simple gift, carrying with it a thousand unspoken words:
"I was thinking about you today."
"I remember our coffee dates."
"I miss those conversations."
"Let’s catch up."
You smile, your fingers hovering over the keyboard before you finally type:
"Thank you. This means a lot. When are you free?"
Because sometimes, friendships don’t need grand gestures to be rekindled. Sometimes, all it takes is a cup of coffee and a reminder that the connection was never really lost. ❤️
