Can we talk about her friend, her best friend waited 20 years and visited her as much as she could. That is loyal af

[@TryNotToLaugh042]

If anyone wanted an update to this story, it's a sad one.. Sarah died in 2016, her dad died a few months before her also in 2016. And her mom died in 2018. RIP to the whole family.

[@infiniteasap7562]

she ain't a friend... she's a sister

[@zep68cd]

I don't think she believes she's a teen, she's actually still a teen. Her mind got frozen in time. Poor soul.

[@AlexPlaysMC16]

Of course she believes she is a teen. In her mind that’s what she last remembers

[@tyblips]

I love how basically the first thing she says to her friend is "you look old" lmao. Just zero hesitation, thats for sure a best friend lmfao

[@roseaglow1371]

Incredible story. I saw this a few years ago. She passed away May 20, 2016 at 50 years old. May she be resting in peace.

Speaking from someone who has been in a coma (only for one month), time literaly stops from the point of the beginning of the coma until you wake. I heard everything that went on in my room, I went to “sleep” at night and experienced normal circadian rhythms, I even dreamed while in the coma. Had it not been for my mother tellling me everyday to get out of the bed so I could come home, I don’t know if I would have made it. I had no idea I was in a coma when I was in a coma, but the “normalcy” my mother tried to create sustained me. Learning to walk and talk again after was easier because of her. Shout out to mamas

Her parents sold their home to keep her alive. My dad would have been like: "Adios, i ain't paying for the hospital bills "

She waited 20 years to drop that Savage line to her friend and call her

[@hmmm.324]

She ain’t just a best friend...

[@handsomebassman]

the woman who visited her for 2 decades is a great example of what being an awesome human being is all about. What a friggin gem.

[@staymotivated149]

Imagine having a friend who visits you every single week for 20 years despite you being in a coma and the fact that everyone ha given up on you. What an amazing friend, seriously wow

[@moonlight5375]

My son is 5 years now. In coma like state. He opens eyes but doesn't respond. He was 18 at the time. Courtesy of a senior citizen running a stop sign. I take care of him by myself. I just keep praying he will one day remember me and snap out of it. God Bless this woman.

[@lorenzogalan9750]

That is a true fucking best friend right there

[@picklepoe4480]

I really appreciate how her dad complimented how nice she looked every time he saw her.

[@sherylsisler5179]

I helped to take care of Sarah at Golden Plains while she was in a coma like state.

[@clairestile5743]

I'm glad that she woke up while her parents were still alive.
