Age is just a number

I was so glad I read ‘Don’t mind the gap’ (May). Age should not be a barrier to friendship, and as your article proves, there is often more that unites people born in different decades than divides us.

I am in my early 40s, but I have a few friends in their early 30s, others in their 50s and even a few in their late 60s. I’ve purposefully put myself into situations where I’m more likely to meet people of all generations. And although the natural tendency may be to seek out similarity, I’ve developed great friendships with people of all ages.

Young friends may not have the wisdom of older ones, and older friends may not have the devilmay-care attitude of younger ones, but there is nothing better than a friend of any age!
