Tonight I found my old penpal, Heather from Australia, on Facebook! There used to be this old series of books, the Penpal series, about a group of friends who were--wait for it, can you guess?--penpals! And at the back of each book was a form that you could fill in to apply for a penpal of your own. And I filled one out when I was 11 or so, and wrote, "Please send me a penpal from another country" and they connected me with Heather! We wrote until we were about 15 and then fell out of touch but I've always wanted to find her and reconnect again. And now I have!
I'm looking forward to finding out what's up in her life. Hurrah for old friends!
