Question

I’m Barbara Sloan. I am 51. My friendship with Michele lasted for a long time before we met each other. Michele was six months older than me. We started writing to each other as teenagers but it was 36 years before we came to face to face in 2013.

Over the years, we also exchanged of our families and gifts. In 1988, I married (与……结婚) Alan. Michele sent me a watch. When my first child Lindsey was born in 1991, she sent me a nice dress. After Duncan and Robert were born, I received a toy bear and a nice book about how to take care of children from her.

In June, 2013, I flew to France to meet Michele and we spent a very happy week together. I thought of staying for another week but Alan called me because Robert was ill (生病的). So I had to come back.

After I came back to England, I keep the habit of writing to Michele every month as usual.
