A friend

Have you ever had a person in your life who you never see but you think of often and who is still your friend forever?

When I started my job five years ago, just having moved to New York like three days before, Tara befriended me. She worked in HR and was the nicest, friendliest, coolest person ever, with an amazing skill of making everything fun! I didn't know anyone and was very lonerly, and she introduced me to a lot of people and invited me out a lot, and it really made a difference.

She left the museum a couple years to expand her scope and I haven't seen her much, but I got a surprise package from her the other day!

Containing this letter:

And this little item "for further inspection":

Um, it is from the street. It has knitting patterns in it. It was next to a hamster rollercoaster!

Basically. The best. Ever.

Tara = #1!!!!!!!
