Asma, a 75-year-old grandmother of eight, enjoyed telling her grandchildren stories about her youth."My life has

improved dramatically since Asma found me," says Sabah. Adds Asma, "It's as if we had never been apart.These stories usually featured Sabah, Asma's best childhood friend.Asma and Sabah had been as close as sisters.Then, when the girls were 15, Sabah's family moved away and the girls lost contact.But Asma never forgot her childhood friend."I never feel lonely anymore."
