In 1944, when I was 10, my mother read about the Heart Mountain Japanese <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/pure-grace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">internment camp<\/a> in Wyoming and suggested that our Omaha, Nebraska, church mail Christmas gifts to families there. Aki, a girl my age, sent a thank-you note. Soon we were writing every month, stories about school and friends and Aki\u2019s life in the camp. Unjust as the camps were, Aki was always upbeat. At the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/caregiving\/family-caregiving\/advice-for-caregivers\/seniors-preserve-war-stories-through-veterans-history-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World War II<\/a>, her family returned to Los Angeles, then moved to Hawaii. Our correspondence continued. On her high school picture, Aki wrote, \u201cWhen it\u2019s God\u2019s will\u2026we will come to meet.\u201d But our letters tapered off after my marriage in 1955.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 40 years later, I prayed that I might find my old friend. When I read about an organization <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/friends\/a-spiritual-bond-reunites-old-friends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reuniting people<\/a> from the camps, I contacted it. The group printed my letter in a California newspaper. Aki\u2019s sisters read it, and Aki called the same day. More proof that God was orchestrating every step! Through laughter and tears, we caught up on our lives, our children and grandchildren. In 2010, my son Jeff arranged for Aki to visit me in Nebraska. I took her high school picture to the airport and recognized her immediately. \u201cWe\u2019ve been waiting so long!\u201d I said, hugging her. Now, 76 years after our first letter, we\u2019re still pen pals!<\/p>\n<p><em>For more inspiring stories, subscribe to <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/w1.buysub.com\/servlet\/ConvertibleGateway?cds_mag_code=GDP&amp;cds_page_id=241158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Guideposts<\/strong><\/a> <em>magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lonely after my husband died in 1992, I found myself longing to get in touch with my childhood pen pal, Akiko Toyama.
