There is nothing worse...

than a friend in trouble, especially if we hardly know what happened and can't reach them on the phone.
That is the ultimate feeling of impotence, not being able to be there for them, hug them, let them know we care and that all will be ok.
There is a small sootheness when we hear their voice, but it takes a while to relieve that knot in the stomach.
Hope you really are ok, silly boy.
