LESFRECKLES INTRODUCES: KHAMI LEON

THE FIRST PLACE I MET KHAMI HAPPEND TO BE A RESTROOM ON LONG ISLAND, NY, LAST SUMMER. I HAD ONLY TALKED TO HER ON THE INTERNET BEFORE & THE GIRL THAT WALKED INTO THE RESTROOM THATNIGHT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THE KHAMI I'VE SEEN PICTURES OF AT ALL: SHE HAD A DIFFERENT HAIR COLOR AND LENGHT AND WORE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MAKE UP.BUT STILL, SOMEHOW, I RECOGNIZED HER FACE.

"KHAMI?", I ASKED. SHE LOOKED UP AT ME, THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT:"CATHI." SINCE THAT NIGHT WE'VE HUNG TOGETHER LIKE AN OLD COUPLE. WE "SURVIVED" AN EARTHQUAKE, THAT BROKE DOWN THE CEILING OF OUR HOTEL IN NEW YORK, A SERIAL KILLER NEXT DOOR, A HURRICANE. WE'VE GONE THROUGH A LOT FOR THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. MAYBE THATS THE REASON WHY IT FEELS TO ME LIKE I'VE KNOWN HER FOR AGES. 

KHAMI HERSELF HAS ONLY TURNED 23, BUT HAS ALREADY GONE THROUGH MORE THAN PROBABLY THE AVERAGE 40 YEAR OLD. SHE HAS A STORY TO TELL, THIS WOMAN. I AM GLAD TO HAVE BECOME A PART OF THIS STORY.

LOVE,


CATHI
