'It's the best gift I've gotten!' Adam finds out the story behind a life-size picture of a person waving in a window, that’s two decades in the making.
If you happen to look in the window of this house in Victoria you will always find a woman waving back at you.Except the version of the friend smiling out her front window is made of cardboard.To appreciate that gift we need to go back almost two decades to when Caitlin first met the real, non-cardboard Teagan in Grade Eight.
After the school year was over, Teagan and her family moved half-way across the country from Caitlin.Although they have seen each other occasionally over the years, whenever they’d ask what the other wanted for their birthday, the answer would always be the same.Although that particular present proved too pricey to ever make possible, Caitlin and Teagan have stayed connected over the decades via Canada Post.
"I was just laughing hysterically," Caitlin says of opening the large parcel and pulling out a life-size photo of Teagan waving while wearing an adventure hat. That was followed by a life-size photo of Teagan’s dog, Theo."I don’t think I could ever beat my own gift," Teagan laughs. This summer, Caitlin’s planning to put the Teagan picture in her passenger seat and drive out east to visit Teagan in person, and reunite her faux best friend with the real one.
