The first person in my Christmas of Gratitude series is my lovely friend, Tara.
I met Tara my Sophomore year of college at Towson. I don't remember the specifics. Mostly I feel like she's always been around. Like how would I have ever lived without her? Because to tell the truth, she's the kindest person I know.
I've often thought about Tara and wondered how any one person can be so good. So kind. So empathetic and still have enough left over to take care of themself. I think it stems from the fact that my Tara is genuine. There is no smoke and mirrors. When you look into her eyes, and listen to her words- they match. She lives with an integrity that is hard to find. And over the years I have come to rely on her. We may not get to hang out as often as I would like but if I ever needed her I know one phone call and she would be by my side. There aren't many people you can say that about in life.
For those of you who don't know Tara, let me just say this: she is beautiful, inside and out. And I'm proud to call her my friend.
