Probably a year had passed since I last saw Kelly. She looked a little different--- her hair was grown out to her shoulders and free of those blonde highlights--- but the North Carolina twang could come from nobody else except Kelly. After a share of smiles, a pair of exclaimed hey's, and a hearty hug, we were able to share an encouraging moment because we had both experienced a similar cleansing and sense of clarity and relief in the past week. To feel this rush is comforting; to share it with someone who can relate from a similar experience is exhilarating.
