08 Aug 90-Year-Old Woman Asks Neighbour To Be Her Friend In Possibly The Saddest Letter Ever Written

As we get older, many aspects of our lives will inevitably change.

Gone are the days of blithe social abandon, of sunny days playing in the park and alcohol-fulled nights in city bars. Instead, keeping in touch with friends and loved ones as we move further into old age becomes an increasingly difficult challenge.

There are many reasons for this, not least that people naturally drift apart, lose contact, or else move away. When we are young, while still potentially saddening, this does not present quite so much of a problem. The presumed likelihood is that young people will generally operate in larger friendship circles that their older counterparts. Moreover, as one group drifts apart, so another is formed; the lives of the young are perceived as more transient and adaptable than older generations.

Of course, this is not always the case, and there is no right or wrong way to conduct your friendships.

The sad fact remains, though, that many older people become increasingly lonely as they get older; their friends might have passed away, meaning that the occasional visit of family members is by and large the only human contact they receive. This is certainly the situation that Wanda, a 90-year-old lady, found herself in, which led her to write this heart-breaking note to a neighbour.
