“A woman carries her clothes. But the
shoe carries the woman.”
- Christian

I have a
friend with whom I went to college who is more like a sister than a
friend. We have known each other a very
long time, we know each other’s families and histories… Recently, I had to travel on business to the
city where she lives. She graciously
picked me up at the airport and when I shared that I had a shoe dilemma – the shoes
I was planning on wearing had broken and I had not had time to get them
repaired – she immediately offered to lend me a pair of hers. I told her that I could just buy a pair, but
she said to just wear hers. So she lent
me a beautiful pair of shoes. I had not
borrowed shoes in ages – maybe since our college days when borrowing and
sharing clothes and shoes was a common occurrence. As I walked around in her shoes (literally),
every time I looked down, I could not help but smile at one more reminder of
her endless kindness and wonderful friendship.
