Soulmateship

What is the best way to say thank you when someone very close to you has been helpful to you? Should I buy them a gift? Should I perhaps send flowers? Maybe. I am sure that a gesture like that will touch them. And yet I feel that expressing gratitude to someone who's very close to my heart, who has always been there for me and who I am certain will continue to be there for me is not just about gestures - above all it is about deeds. It's about all I have done for that person and more importantly all that I will do. It's about all the advice that I have given them and more importantly all the advice that I will give them. It's about striving to become a better person and helping them to achieve the same. And it's about continuing to complement them as they complement me. This is what 'soulmateship' is all about, pure and simple.
