根据开始的时候作者与Linda总是一起去上钢琴课、看电影、游泳、骑马等，但后来在作者13岁的时候，作者一家搬走了，两人只能通过书信联系。

故选D。

【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。

根据文章第2段中的Soonwewerebusywithchildrenandmovingtonewhomes,andwewrotelessoften根据文可知，她们之所以没经常写信，是因为她们要忙于照顾孩子，又要搬新家，也就是说，她们没有时间写信。

根据Iwantedtosharehappinessofmychildrenandthengrandchildren.AndIneededtosharemysadnesswhenmybrotherandthenmotherdied.作者没有像琳达这样的朋友来分享她的快乐和悲伤，故选D。
