Yes I wrote to a girl for a few years,during primary school.We both lived in Australia in the same state I think,but different cities.I can't remember how we came in contact but it fizzled out.We never met but I wish we had stayed in touch.My cousin still corresponds with her pen pal who is American.It started out with them writing letters,now they correspond by email.And they have met when her friend visited Australia a few years ago.I am face book friends with my cousins pen pal now.
I wrote to my fathers aunt who lived in the UK.She came to Australia and I met her but I don't remember much about it.We corresponded until her death many years later.I had a chance to visit her but I was then and still am terrified of flying in an aeroplane.I do regret not seeing her and maybe catching up with other family members.
