Question

Mary Allen was my best friend-like the sister I never had．We did every thing together，piano lessons，movies，swimming，or horse riding．When I was 13，my family moved to another city．Mary and I often wrote to each other，and sometimes we saw each other-like my wedding and Mary's．Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes，and we wrote less often．
One day a card that I sent to Mary came back with the word"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 sorrow when my brother and then mother died．There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill．
One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman．She looked like Mary and her last name was White-Mary's married name．"There must be thousands of White，"I thought，but I wrote to her anyway．She called as soon as she got my letter．"Mrs Green!"she excitedly．"Mary Allen White is my mother．"Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once，even after 40years．We laughed and cried．The empty place in my heart is filled and there's one thing that Mary and I know．We won't lose each other again!
