There is one thing better than making a new friend, and that is keeping an old one.
——Elmer G Letterman
Two years ago my family moved. The day we left, my best friend and I cried together in my 36 bedroom for hours. I was miserable during the five-hour car ride to my new house. Life was 37 .
On the first day of school, I called my best friend to tell her how it had gone. Then on Halloween, I sent her a letter and a picture of my new friends and me.
Finally, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t 38 a letter—a piece of paper saying, “Best friends forever”.
When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the 39 letter I have ever written. After the third e-mail with no 40 , my messages grew shorter and shorter. 41 each passing day, my 42 grew.I never received a reply from her.
Mom said that I 43 try calling my other friends, and that I didn’t need to always call her. 44 my best friend, the girl that I had known from my childhood?
My first 45 was automatic.“No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, I started to consider what my mom had 46 .Every night for about a week, I stayed up in bed, 47 , “Should I keep trying or...?”

After two years of 50 , I finally got a phone call from her—my best friend. It was a big 51 .She told me how sorry she was for not writing, and about how busy she had been. I forgot about everything that had happened and how annoyed I had been with her.I 52 her.I guess keeping in touch just isn’t her 53 .
I have realized true friends never really lose their special 54 .Even after two years, it felt like we had just talked yesterday.
Now she and I write regularly—or at least she tries to, 55 she tries hard.
