_{Hi Penpal,}

_{Hi Andrea I just called you Penpal. Are you okay with that ? You know, I am just joking around by calling you that. But it also represents what I feel about you.}

_{You are only friend who lives overseas and still keep in touch each other by letter.}

_{OMG ! Look at those words I use to define what kind of friend you are. How are you by the way ? I hope you and your family are doing well.}

_{Lately I’m thinking about friends I have. After graduating there’s only few friend left, most of them are unreachable. I understand because we start a new episode,we’re on different track. It gets me thinking maybe I would only have one or two true friends at the end.}

_{I want to thank you Andrea. I know that we never meet each other but I guess you’re always there everytime I need you.}

_{I can feel you’re a good person. You careness and affection can be felt though the words in you letter.}

_{You advices help me through hard times.}

_{Thank you. Thank for being my friend.}

_{Dear Frodi,}

_{It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy. Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.}

_{How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here.}

_{We are going to have the national examination, aren’t we? Are you well prepared for it? Well, to be honest, I just have some difficulties in preparing for it, especially in science. There are extra lessons in my school and I take them all. But, I feel that they don’t help. I’m still confused in solving mathematic problems. I’m just worried that I fail the national examination. Do you have any suggestion for me? I really appreciate your help.}
