Lost in the City

Here is an amazing feeling... I hadn't heard from my great friend V. in a year. Last time I was in contact with her was a phone call she gave me last August, when I was in the hospital. I didn't get any news from her after that, neither did any of her other friends as I found out a few months later. What happened? Let's just said that she went through a very tough patch and we had to have her institutionalized. That was about one month ago, very little before I took off for Chicago. At that time, I was relieved she finally was in a position to get the help she needed, but not sure about how it would then unfold.
Good news awaited me when I came back: first, I managed to talk to her on the phone, then, I got to visit her at the hospital. I don't have the words to tell how glad I was to see her again. The bottom line is... welcome back V. !!
