The week s good news: July 22, 2021

Neighbors one 2 years old, the other 99 found friendship during quarantine Over the last year, Benjamin Olson, 2, and Mary O Neill, 99, have gone from neighbors to the best of friends. Benjamin, his parents, and his brother Noah live next door to Mary in Minneapolis, and over the course of the pandemic, Benjamin and Mary have grown close from their backyards, separated by a chain-link fence. They ve invented a game called cane ball – Benjamin kicks a ball to the fence, and Mary hits it back with her cane and now that he can open Mary s gate on his own, Benjamin regularly comes over to blow bubbles and hand her fistfuls of dirt. Mary is his first best friend, Benjamin s mom, Sarah Olson, told KARE 11, and she is so happy they have each other. Mary is a widow whose family lives out of state, and she now has pictures of Benjamin and Noah on display in her home. They re the closest thing to grandchildren I have around here, she said.

View Comments Benjamin didn t have any playmates his age to interact with. Mary lived alone and spent her days watching TV game shows and playing an electronic version of Yahtzee. But as the isolation of the pandemic was at its height, Mary wasn t as lonely when she looked out of her kitchen and saw Benjamin and his mom playing in their backyard. Those moments marked the beginning of a special friendship. Benjamin and Mary s worlds were separated by a chain-link fence and nearly 100 years of life experience when the coronavirus pandemic began. Benjamin was 9 months old as quarantine sent people indoors in the spring of last year and Mary O Neill was 98.
