An ode to intergenerational friendship

We share a lot of life's milestones with our friends. Remember the year of 21st birthdays? Then the season of weddings, babies, mortgages.Most of us make friends with people around our own age, and we bond over the things we're all navigating at the same stage of life.But there's something valuable in friendships that span generations, too. Friends who are decades older or younger than you bring different perspectives, different experiences, and lessons you might never find in your usual circle.
