    Everyone has a true friend in his life. Mary Allen was my best friend—like the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.

    When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} occasions(场合)—like my wedding and Mary's. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we {#blank#}3{#/blank#} less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped ＂Address Unknown.＂ I had no idea how to find Mary.

    Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my {#blank#}4{#/blank#} when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.
