About seven years ago, when I was around thirteen years old, I became very sick. Eventually I had to be put in the hospital in order to get healthy again. While I was in the hospital I started meeting the other kids that were on the same floor as me. One day, I met a girl who had the exact same illness that I had. I soon found out that she also was staying in the room next door to mine.
We started spending a lot of time together and passed the time by playing games and walking around together. After some time, we both started feeling well again and the doctors began to give us less medicine. We both knew we were going to be able to go home soon, but neither of us wanted to leave the other one alone.
One weekend, the doctors came into my room and told me that I could go home that day! I was really excited but I also felt bad for my friend. So afterwards, I walked into her room to tell her and, to my surprise, the doctors had also said she could leave that day!
It was very ironic that we were both in the hospital with the same sickness at the same time, next door to one another, and that we both got to leave on the same day! Today, she is still one of my closest friends!
