I think of the people I work with as my work friends. I do not really have much contact with anyone at work outside of the work place, but I still consider them my friends.
One young woman started in our department about 6 months ago. She has had a really hard time learning her job. She is very hesitant and unsure even after all this time.
I did not care much for her at first. Then, another friend that worked closely with her disclosed some things I did not know.
When this girl was just 16 she got pregnant. The guy disappeared before the baby was born. After she was18, she got a job where I work. She lived in an apartment very close to work and did not have a car. One icy winter day, while carrying the baby girl to the babysitters, she fell and cracked her head open. Since hearing this story, I am less judgemental about her abilities.
If I only knew...
She is married to a nice man now, has another child, good life, and a friend in me.
Sister Betty is going to make her a toboggan for Christmas. I will give it to my friend and get all the credit.

If it turns out ugly, you still get the credit.
Oh, it’s great to have sisters
What is a toboggan?
