I; too, have always had a close connection with the older generation or those older than me. I feel as though they understand me better than friends my age. Maybe it’s because I have more life experience than them or feel things much differently or see things in a different light than them. I have always thoroughly enjoyed their company connecting on a much deeper level. Their words of wisdom and understanding cannot compete. They are sweeter while they also don’t hold back and don’t sugar coat things. They are a true treasure! ❤️ I have a second cousin who is almost 93 who’s as sharp as a tack with an incredible memory. We can and have spent hours on the phone with each other.
