Great story, Anna. Beautiful writing. I have a feeling you will be an important influence in Olivia’s life. And in others. I hope there will be more tales to tell.
Friendships that span generations are a beautiful gift - for both friends. My dearest friend is now 84 years old, over 30 years older then me. We have gently and unobtrusively mentored each other over our long friendship.
That Olivia sounds like a blast! It's important to love the little girls who are "too much." In a good environment, they will do great things. I'm so glad that you're her buddy.
You're so right about supporting the kids that normally get brushed off as being too much. I hate to admit that initially I did that but I'm so proud to call her my friend now 😊
Aww well, the important thing is that you learned and evolved - many of us stick to our initial impressions out of pride, and you didn't. This story sounds like it could be a book or something; teachings from a child. 👏
You draw the reader in so well. Nothing’s lost on those kids. Maybe you’re the friendly adult in their lives when they’re struggling elsewhere. Thanks for posting.

What a gift you both have there, Anna. 🙏💙💚🦋
I so agree, we need more intergenerational friendships!
Beautiful story. Thank you for making me smile.
Thanks so much, Natalie ☺️

Loved the plot twist with Olivia, haha. I'm sorry you lost you pup, and happy for you finding friendship in such an unexpected place. ♥
She really muscled her way in but I'm so glad she did :)
Love how children, even when they are not ours, can help us heal. Also I’m sorry about Dolly, please accept my condolences.

They're the eyes and ears of the street, nothing gets passed them!!
