my friend, Sekou Tarare
My friend is from west Africa. He is a black man, really black. A few of you have seen/met him. He is "John", my taxi driver. He has been my pal for over a year when I needed a ride. He has come to get me any day, any time, any where. Early on, he gave me his home and cell #. We "work" off the meter, just cash. As I am moving next week, yesterday was our last day "together". I gave him some appliances I no longer needed...he said he would give them to others he knew.
As we departed, we shook hands and then he hugged me. His last words to me were "please keep in touch" in his heavy accent. I will.
My buddy in Wilmington showed me his gift to make friends in non-traditional ways. John is my friend...one of my best. One of my others is John aka Yukon John. So, do you have a friend you met in an unusual way?
