    Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her…until one day a letter arrived.

    He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelope over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read:

    Dear Huw,

    I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but…

    Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw:

    Best wishes

    Megan

    He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read:

    …after all these years, but I've just found your letters to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.

    Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letter. 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 know 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 do, I am still Megan Jenkins, and I still live at the same address.

    Best wishes,

    Megan

    Huw 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.
