"My
daughter's divorcing her husband," a friend confided in me one day. "She
phoned him about it while she was on a taxi from work!"
" Which one of your daughters? " I asked, as I knew my friend had five very beautiful and lovely daughters.
"The third one – she’s found him too boring." he answered.

I was
quite taken aback by the daughter's reason for divorcing her husband. They had
just been married for about three years.
I remembered another friend, who was in his seventies, confiding in me that he was having a thing going with a twenty-year-old college student. I did not believe him at all. I thought it was just an old man’s fantasy.

I wondered
whether it could be true after all as my friend's supposedly paramour had a
young boyfriend and had found the young fellow boring, too. So she had sought
the companionship of my old friend instead!
This
sets me thinking about what young girls want nowadays.

Love… includes fellowship in suffering, in
joy and in effort.
