Happy BlogOVersary for Romancing the Genres! I’m Lynn Lovegreen. I am honored to be part of this group, and pleased to host today’s Blog-Versation celebrating friendship. I'll post an example answer to the question, and then you can provide an answer. I'll check back every so often and comment, and maybe you'll have a comment to add to mine, or someone else will. This way, we’ll have a virtual conversation.
What is your most cherished friendship?
Friendship is precious. We all have different kinds of friends, whether it’s childhood friends, workplace friends, or longtime neighbors. My favorite category is intergenerational friends. Some of my friends are much older or younger than I am. People who grew up in a certain time period have a different take on things than I do. That leads to great conversations and new insights.
One of my most cherished friendships was with a lady old enough to be my grandmother. We started off knowing each other slightly, as she worked with my mother. Later, we were in the same group that met for a monthly lunch and Benita couldn’t drive anymore, so I became her chauffeur. It didn’t take long before I was taking her home and staying for coffee, then hanging out with her on a regular basis. Benita taught me much about life, and her advice was always spot on. We shared an unconditional love for each other that lasted until she died. I’m so grateful for our time together.
Your turn now! What is your most cherished friendship? Or, what does friendship mean to you?
