Older Female Friends

I have lots of older friends. Many of them are in their 70's and 80's. They are so sweet, and have such wisdom. Anyone who does not take the time to get to know the elderly, is missing out on a treat. They've lived the history we read about in books and have such a wonderful perspective on the past. They are, for the most part, unhappy with the prospects for the future given our current social and political environment.

Several years ago (and I mean several), I was a lifeguard at a private pool here in town. I became great friends with several of the ladies who came and hung out at the pool each day with their kids (actually babysat a good bit for them and ended up teaching their kids how to swim). To this day, we are all good friends and they are enjoying life as grandparents

Hard to believe these kids that I once babysat or taught how to swim are now married with kids of their own!! I treasure their friendship immensely.

I have quite a few older friends and cherish them beyond belief. So many wonderful stories of the past and advise for the future.

I may be that older woman you're talking about! I'm 42, and I have young friends but I use to have several older friends who were just as much fun as my friends of the same age or younger. Two of them have passed away now and I don't really get to see the other women too much since we moved.
