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.

Now they enjoy sitting on the steps and blowing bubbles together and playing a game they made up called cane ball, where he kicks Mary a ball and she uses her cane to pass it back to the tot.
