Hum，I never know that you'd written to me．I thought your life in Canada had made you forget me．Now I realize that my father kept your letters．I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me，and he always said："______，my girl，I told you he was no good．"Finally，after about a year，I believed him．
But why did he keep the letters？Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late？Anyway he's dead now，so I can't ask him．All I can say is I'm sorry．Sorry for what my father did，sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for …everything．
I hope that at least this letter reaches you．Of course，I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me，but if you don't do，I am still Magan Jenkins，and I will live at the same adress．
Best wishes，
Megan
Hum read the letter again．Everything with Megan came back to him．He had never forgotten her．He couldn't．Every day he looked at her face on the wall．He had a drawing of her．It had traveled everywhere with him．But to hear from her again …
"Are you all right，Dad？"asked Mike，coming into the room．
