Day 9 - Postcard to my other BFF

I met Andi when I got my first job after moving to Iowa. I was in a bad living situation and word went through the grapevine that I wasn't sleeping well and was miserable. She approached me out of nowhere (I'd never met her before) and she offered me a temporary place to stay. Again, another story which might seem odd, had the situation occurred anywhere other than Des Moines Iowa. I was skeptical of her hospitality, but called her bluff when the crap hit the fan at my apartment at 2 a.m. the following Tuesday. She answered the phone and without question just said "come over, door's open". I stayed with her for a month, then she helped me find my own place and furnished it with some of her old furniture.

I've seen her once in the past five years, since I moved to Texas. Every time we talk it's like we're picking up a conversation we had an half hour before. We've helped each other grow so much, and I can't wait to see her again.
