The friendship between us never fades. Mary Allen was my best friend—like a sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding, and so on.
When I was 13, my family moved. Mary and I
36 in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special
37 — like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were
38 with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less. One day a card that I sent came back,
39 “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to
40 Mary.
Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to
41 stories of my children and then grandchildren. I need to share my
42 when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could
43 .
One day I was reading a newspaper
44 I notice a picture of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman— Mary’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought,
45 I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Mary Allen Wagman is my mother”. Minutes later I heard a voice that I
46 at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and asked about each other’s
47 .
Now the empty place in my heart is filled, and there is one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!
