Jenny Smith was my best friend. We took piano lessons together. When I was 13, my family moved away. Jenny and I kept in touch through letters. After getting married, we were busy with children, so we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea how to find Jenny. Over the years, I missed Jenny very much. I wanted to share happiness and sadness of my life. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Jenny could fill.
