she was a raving Maoist. I haven't laid eyes on her for twenty five years.
I am getting older, and friendship is dear.
Friendship is dear, but I think this one might be a lost cause.

A friend would accept you as you are. I have a liberal college buddy and we are still friends. We trade jabs, but we know that politically we will never be on the same page. But he is adult enought to accept it, so am I.
On the bright side, my wife has met some really wonderful older ladies at our church and now they are best of buddies. The age difference does not really seem to matter. (wife is 30, I am 38). You would be surprised how a friendly gesture and opening your heart at church can allow others to latch on to you. We all need friends ya know.
