An Unlikely Cohort


As some of you might have guessed already, her name's not really Tobi. We'll just say it is. I don't know exactly how we became friends. We couldn't be more different people.

The thing about human beings is that we all go through difficult times. That's life, sometimes it throws crap at you. And at that moment, there is nothing more assuring than finding someone who is going through the same crap as you. Situations really do make people bond.

That was the case with me and Tobi. We lost things...but found so much more.

Our friendship may have been short, but I will remeber if for life.

Tobi is one of those people who come into your life for one fleeting moment...to teach you something...and leave you with the most unforgettable impression.

I can't write about most of our conversations or stories, I might reveal more than she would like.

But some things I write from now on will definitely have been influenced by her. Maybe, once in a while, when I remember something funny or nice that I just have to share, I'll put it here.
And maybe, one day, we'll cross paths again...
