题目内容：

The friendship between us never fades. Mary Allen was my best friend—like a sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding, and so on.

Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to 41 stories of my children and then grandchildren. I need to share my 42when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could 43.

One day I was reading a newspaper 44I notice a picture of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman— Mary’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, 45I wrote to her anyway.

Now the empty place in my heart is filled, and there is one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!
