There was the depression and then the drinking...
. That whole socially acceptable thing that spread as fast as the Covid had.
That had landed her in the psych unit of the hospital for 2 weeks.
that's where she met Sararh.
Sarah seemed to feel as though she had to be invited into the conversation.
or activity.
Sarah was round and soft, young and quite...
she was old and thin, frail and short. -
They had nothing whatsoever in common until then.
Sarah was so timid and introverted.
But her heart was as big as the great outdoors of the planes of Texas she loved, and it seeped through.
and showed itself. in everything she said and did.
They kept in touch over the months then years.
But they were always texts and emails.
Happy birthday, Happy holidays...how are things...
.
One day recently she was at a very low point in her life.
Medically, legally, monetarily,
She was sitting at the kitchen table crying...
The phone rang, it wasn't a number she recognized but something posseted her to answer anyway.
It was Sarah!
Not a text not an e mail but Sarah!
It was as if she had known.
She had sensed that the woman needed her.
There she was out of the clear blue Texas. Sky and she cried even harder.
She called Sarah 2 days later.
Sarah the magnificent!
Sarah the quietly shy who had swooped in and rescued her from the depths of despair.
Sarsh the sensational
her very own superhero
Somehow Sarah had known.
Zap
Bam
Swoosh
