It's A Small World

Another reason why I love my job?  Our customers.  We have the pleasure of dealing with so many sweet people with so many interesting stories.  Today, I was finishing up with one of my customers, who happens to have a French accent, and she mentioned that she'd be going back to Canada soon, and another customer who was standing next in line waiting said: "what part of Canada are you from?", "New Brunswick", the other customer replied, "I was your neighbor!".  Come to find out, the customer waiting in line was from Maine, and the two ladies lived just across the river from each other.  The conversation continued, and names of towns were exchanged and it was becoming more evident that they were truly "neighbors".  Then one customer mentioned the name of someone and it turns out that the customer who's from New Brunswick, that's her best friend who she is going to see in a couple of weeks when she goes back!  They started telling stories of how they would ice skate across that river, the Canadian girls would want to skate across and see the American boys and the American girls would skate across to see the Canadian boys...........we all smiled and laughed and it was just such a nice moment shared.  It's most certainly a small world.
