FRIENDS FOREVER

You know that scene in the movie “Evening” based on the Susan Minot novel when the Meryl Streep character crawls in bed with the dying Vanessa Redgrave character? They haven’t seen each other in years, but they still connect like they did when they were young women and when they talk about what they did then and where they’ve gone since, they’re girls again.

Old friends, the ones who knew our original hair color, our parents and first love, preserve the link to our own past. And new friends, who meet us in the middle, as career women and mothers and neighbors, keep us energized.

On this week’s Juicy Tomatoes radio show five women talk about how we need our friends – separate of family, colleagues and contacts - especially as we get older. And how we celebrate each other when we get together.
