Feeling hopeless, I reached for my phone, dialing Sarah’s number again. Voicemail. “Sarah, please call me back,” I begged into the phone, emotion thick in my voice.
“We love you. We want to help.” I hung up, knowing the message was just one of many. Each attempt left me feeling more lost, more desperate.
Her silence was deafening, a constant reminder of how far she’d drifted away from us.
