My Special Pen Friend

So often, pals shape our lives, our worlds -- just like family and friends do in our own hometown. We want to hear about that Special Friend who changed your life in some way... giving you the courage to pursue something in life, bringing joy into your life in some unexpected way, comforting you through grief, just someone with the right words when you needed them.
