Obscene Amounts of Joy
She is one of my oldest and dearest friends. You should be so lucky to have a friend like her.
Sadly, I lost touch with her some years back, and try as I might I wasn't able to locate her.
And then there was the Internet.
For several years I once again attempted to locate her. Not easy, considering I couldn't remember her married name.
On a lark, I typed in her maiden name, and lo and behold, there she was!
Finally getting back in touch with her brings me the kind of joy that cannot be described, so I'm not even going to try.
I hope you also get back in touch with a long-lost friend soon.
