Maggie Musgrave was sitting, alone, in Miami International Airport, crying when she crossed paths with fellow traveler Cindy Jarrin. The two women started chatting, stayed in touch, and remain close friends over a decade later.
It was a Sunday evening in summer 2011. Thunderstorms were raging over Miami, and the airport departure area was getting increasingly crowded, with stranded travelers fighting for seats as plane after plane was grounded.
"I was like, 'Oh gosh, I could really use a pet from this dog,'" Maggie recalls. She greeted the animal enthusiastically, giving him a belly rub."Oh hi, I'm sorry!" said the stranger."I'm Cindy," said the woman."He's Deniro," she added, gesturing to her dog.Cindy explained that yes, her dog was named for actor Robert De Niro - she'd grown up loving"The Godfather" movies.
"I did not want to seem too intrusive. I figured if we talk it will get her mind off of things," Cindy recalls. The two women spent over an hour deep in conversation. And when the flight was eventually called, they swapped details -- promising to get back in touch when they were home in DC. Maggie and Cindy learned they were alike in small ways -- they both love fall, calling the season where the leaves turn auburn their favorite of year -- and in bigger ways -- they both share the same Catholic faith, for example.
