Friends are very important in everyone's life because friends are always there when we need them. A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
My friendship with Sue started 30 years ago with a snake. A few months after I moved into an apartment (公寓), one day, my next-door neighbor, shouted to me for help because a snake was sleeping near her door. I made the snake run away and made a new friend. Soon Sue invited me over for dinner or left home-made food at my door. When I went to my beach house, Sue helped look after my pet and water my plants. And when she wasn't home, I did the same for her. When she traveled, she'd remember to bring me wonderful gifts, but her smile is always the greatest gift of all.
In 1997, I had a lovely child and Sue looked after me and him. Years later, I returned her kindness. I helped out when her husband was in hospital, staying with her and talking about and sharing everything with her.
Unluckily, in 2019 the pandemic (疫情) happened. My husband lost his work and my son couldn't be back home because of the virus (病毒). I was worried about them and I didn't know how to fight the pandemic. But Sue appeared to help us in time. She shared food and medicine with us. Without her, I couldn't go through difficult times. I was the luckiest one in the world.
A wall might separate (阻隔) our apartments and masks (口罩) can separate the viruses, but nothing is able to separate true friends' hearts.
