My favorite customer

Graphic by Bruna Costa

I have many customers. But the one who is at the top of my list is a woman around my age in the Woodley Park neighborhood. Two or three times a week, whether I am at my corner or anywhere near my area, she appears. She even sent money to the group home where I live!

I have known her for about four years. She is really special to me. We talk about many subjects in our lives. A couple of years ago her sister died and we have been best friends ever since.
