BEST FRIENDS FOREVER
A friend is, as it were, a second self. (Cicero)
I came across these two wonderful Ukrainian women, Reva and Fanja, walking down their driveway in Cleveland, Ohio. I could not stop myself from considering the possibility, because of the basketball nets behind them, that they had just finished a little ‘one on one’ and that Reva was concealing her high tops in her shopping bag. Because of their age, both well into their 90s, I surmised, they could not jump too high, so they used the small net for dunking. They both passed away within a week of each other a few years back.
