What does it mean to be “lifelong friends”? Well, Franny, Finn, Charlie and Sam bring literal meaning to the phrase. They met one another within 48 hours of each other’s birth — a consequence of the close friendship of their parents, Mark, Jen, P.K. and Beth. Now half a generation later, the Flackett-Levin family is off wandering the planet while the Colt-Simonds family has settled comfortably in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. For one week in Paris (which flew by as if it were a day), the four young compatriots got the chance to pick up right where they left off, laughing, playing, creating shows — and we get a short meditation on the true meaning of “lifelong friendship” from four bonafide practitioners.
OMG, I am weeping! We do have fun together, indeed. Thank you for making this amazing tribute to their friendship, and ours. XOXOX Bethie
I wept reading your testament of friendship with Jen, Beth. To see this video is very special to me.
Glorious! What fun too to see Charlie and Sam so grown up!
What a perfect venue for lifelong childhood friends… the park and playground let them be the kids they still are and pick up where they left off! another BRAVO
and Finn’s words are perfect… “We have fun together”. That is the essence of friendship!
Beautiful! It is so wonderful to know that these kids are “the future” in action.
This video has made me so happy. I have always loved your friendships (adults and children)…seeing you now, after knowing you as infants( the younger generation of course!) brings such pleasure to my soul.
Just wondeful.
Generations of friends means fun together… forever. Thanks for spreading the love all around the world. LOVE that film.
OMG….when one is 76 yrs old, is it too late to grab fond and favorite friends/rels for a week like that in the City of Light (or even a dark one!)? I admit that eradicating the 76 years back to my birth might create a challenge that even a good pal could not supply.
In this “film”, the extraordinary aspect (in addition to the FEELINGS the kids expressed), is the incredible capacity of the kids to ARTICULATE their feelings and the sentiments their friendship inspired. I am not sure ADULTS could ever capture the essence of such as their relationship in such a facile manner.
I am going to watch it again, since the last time I needed windshield wipers.
