We never slept. Her brothers and sister joined us and we searched for four days and nights. The police found her at a friend's house and brought her home. We were all frantic and exhausted. She had a shower, went to bed and got up the next day as if nothing had happened.
Yesterday is gone and forgotten and tomorrow never comes.
She was listed as a chronic runner who eventually turns up. But we, her family, continued to be terrified as these runs increased in both frequency and length. She often would run at good times in her life, Christmas, her birthday, mothers day, day before we were leaving on vacation etc. We couldn't figure that out. Today we know it was her frustration and inability to cope with the changes in her routine.
