People that make people feel normal.

So I took the assistant manager position.  I want to give it back every day.  Customer service can drain a soul.

In the middle of all that, my favorite coworker moved to a different office.  I miss her every day. I always drag my feet at new employees.  And she was one of those too, I didn't like her for a least a month.  But then somehow she became my favorite.  Like for example, she taught me to run, always encouraged me, never told me that I was too slow.  I learned to love it and to use it as a stress reliever.  She made me feel ok about having stinky feet because she was beautiful and no one looked down on her smelly feet.  She was hilarious.  Hands down, the funniest person ever.  Maybe because we both had warped sense of humor.  She loved sugar, yup straight up, just like me.  In fact, she just made jam this week, just to eat it plain.  Be still my heart.  And the best part, she never looked down on me because I was "different".  Never acted embarrassed to be around a plain olde menno.  

Moral of the story
You just can't find a friend like that every day.  We were not the huggy type of friends, in fact I tried to threaten that she was going to get a hug on her last day, and she said "no you are not".  In fact, I never told her at all how much I like her.  Or how much it meant to me that she accepted me as I was.  I may never. But you, if you have a friend like this, You ShOULD. Tell them!

Because friends like this, they are one in a million.  Never forget to thank God for those people that just make your life better.
