I have a friend I can reach out to whenever I'm moved to. We've been friends for 41 years and counting. I have another friend who lives across am ocean. I can still reach out on WhatsApp, and of course we get together whenever I'm in country. We've been friends for 55 years. I have several other friends there who've been friends for 40+ years, but the geographic distance had taken a greater toll. As importantly, I've been diligently looking to develop new friendships. The husband of someone I met at a conference, who became a friend too. A guy from down the street who I met at physical therapy, of all places. Some of those friends are my age. Some are older by as much as 10 years, some are younger by a similar margin.
