My 10-year-old friend, Fox, keeps
me young. We take him to all the kid movies (most recent--The Muppets Most
Wanted) go on expeditions, hike and attend his concerts and plays.
My 95-year-old friend, Ed,
entertains me with his stories of World War 2 as an infantryman in Europe,
prisoner of war and adventures behind the Russian lines when liberated in 1945.
This has led to a project of writing his biography. I enjoy his sense of humor,
vitality and sound mind. We take walks or sit and chat.
It's a gift to have friends with
different perspectives and experiences. I’ve learned a great deal from both
ends of the age spectrum.
