A man wears a bright dress while in his best friend's burial. A friend is one of the most precious gifts one can ever have in his/her life. The loyalty of a friend, once seen, proves how powerful such a relationship is. In this story, a man keeps his promise to his best friend.
An agreement was made between Private Kevin Elliott and Barry Delaney which stipulated that whoever outlives the other, the survivor must wear a bright dress during the other's burial. Clearly, this was a joke during its conception.
Years after the agreement was made between them, Private Elliott was deployed to Afghanistan where he met his untimely demise.
During Elliott's burial ceremonies, Delaney, pursuant to the aforesaid agreement, donned a bright green frock.
The most touching moment during the burial ceremonies was when Delaney knelt beside Elliott's grave. He jokingly asked Elliott whether he fancied the color of the dress that he was wearing. Realizing that Elliott would never be able to laugh and respond back, Delaney finally broke into tears.
The friendship that Elliott and Delaney shared is truly inspiring. Despite the tragedy that befell the former, what is amazing is how their relationship remained strong as can be seen by Delaney's actions.
