Geographical Distance and Friendship

friendship: An immigrant from India lovingly wrote about his friend enduring support to help him get settled in Canada, according to The Star. This fall, asked readers to tell us about a special friendship that changed their lives in a meaningful way. We received dozens of emails and letters describing bonds that bridged geographical distance, age differences and cultural beliefs. Some ties persisted since childhood, others popped up fortuitously in mid-life or later and We heard from The Sisterhood, nine retired teachers whose friendship has survived nearly 50 years and a van trip to Nova Scotia. One woman talked about a childhood pal who stayed a steadfast friend through eight decades of letter-writing. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
