Benjamin Olson, a 2-year-old boy in Minnesota, has become best friends with his neighbor. Her name is Mary O’Neill and she will celebrate her 100th birthday in December.
For more than a year, he didn’t see other kids.
At first, O’Neill, who lost her husband 37 years ago, would just wave at Benjamin from behind a window. Then, she began venturing outside to say hello.
Eventually they would see each other by their fence that separated their lawns nearly every day.
When the weather is nice, O’Neill and Benjamin will sit on her steps and blow bubbles together.
