Hi Anjali,

I'm so glad you wrote this article and shared these perspectives. This was exactly what I was sharing with a few friends two weeks ago and you expressed it so beautifully! I just fractured my knee over the holidays and was in the middle of a kitche renovation. I asked my family to go away to Canada and keep up with original plans which meant that I was alone over winter break. I had friends my age who dropped off food but it was really my older friends 65+ who cam and spent time with me offering loving care, healing and conversations that were so valuable to take me through that time. They met me where I was and gave me what i truly needed.

I also really enjoy having friends and connections with my daughter's friends and often forget that I am the 'auntie' among them;))

I mentor a group that we started called Enliven to bring inter generational programming to seniors in our communities. i would love to see more inter generational connections thrive in our communities.
