Friendship Long Distance — 5 Comments

  1. Modern technology keeps communication lines open more readily than when I grew up. I loved sending and receiving those old fashioned letters and cards to cousins and friends far away. Now, my kids keep in touch globally through Skype and now the iPhone FaceTime app. It’s amazing! Funny how simple technology keeps our global neighbors close.

  2. HI Penny,

    What a great post! In today’s transient society this is something to which many can relate. I believe the girls will truly enjoy this long-distance relationship throughout the teen years. It’s good for them to have a trustworthy friend who is outside of their circle of local friends. They will be able to confide in one another when they have something to share with that “special” someone. The methods of communication are always changing, but the need for a “pen pal” or long distance friend has stood the test of time.

  3. Love this Penny – for us we met most of our friends regularly – at least once a year, but I think that it is important to encourage them to keep the communication going – but remember to also encourage Lilian when her friend is busy with her new life and doesn’t seem to be there when she thinks she should be! Or get an email etc when she thought it would come since her friend will have so much to learn and do and Lilian will be the one with the ‘hole’ in her life. I am sure that they will be blessed especially if Lilian is able to be patient with her friend!!!
