Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together:piano lessons,movies,swimming,horseback riding.

When I was 13,my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters,and we saw each other on special times—like my wedding(婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes,and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back,stamped “Address(地址) Unknown” I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years,I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share(分享) happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought,but I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs.Tobin!”she said excitedly,“Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much,even after 40 years,laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure:We won’t lose each other again!

The 92-year-old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.

  Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

 As she walked slowly to lift, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets(床单) that had been hung on her window. “I love it.” She said with the happiness.

“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room…. Just wait..”  “That doesn’t matter.” She replied. “ Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged. It is how I arrange my mind, I have already decided to lobe it. It is a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I will focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account(帐户). You put what you have in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memories are happy ones.”

 Mr. Jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108.
