The kindness of strangers...

We went to the same high school. Knew of each other, but didn't really know each other. Didn't hang out in the same circles. Tonight, though, she kind of became that best friend that has been through hell and knows how to help carry you out of it.

I'm getting divorced. Her fiance died... the day after her cancer surgery. What I'm going through is nothing by comparison, but she made it feel like it was important, too. Faced with obstacles, a support system is really important. She knows that and wanted me to know the same. She offered her ear anytime I feel low.

You know, people get a bad rap. Some out there are actually pretty wonderful.
