I’ll never forget that day I was venting to you. You stopped mid-sentence, spun your chair around, and just looked at me with so much sincerity. You told me how much you admired my strength, and for a moment, we just cried together. It was exactly what I needed before we both wiped our eyes and got back to work."

I have so many great memories of Tammy. We were especially close in 6th grade. I went to Tammy's house on numerous occasions. I still talk about her awesome bedroom! Canopy bed, purple shag carpet. A girls dream!! She was so proud of the time we went to her sister Jane's house for dinner. She kept talking about the steak cooked in wine that we were going to have and it was delicious! I hadn't seen her in a while, but with childhood friendships, you always have that connection. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to catch up with her since I've moved back to Lewes. She will be dearly missed.
