Someone Needing Help When Younger

Tonight again seeing a young girl that I haven't seen for about three years, her Mom telling me where she is working now. Going to her workplace, just standing there waiting for her to notice me, and when doing so, just staring at me, not knowing if what she was seeing was real or not. Can I give you a hug? she finally managed to say, I told her you'd better and she then hugged me tightly, crying her heart out. Not letting go of me, just crying, because when she was younger I cared and was there for her, helping her through a horrendous time in her life. We talked for a while in between customers, giving her my phone number and promising to get together when she calls me. Never wanting to lose touch with one another again as long as we both are alive.
