Gaps

There are lots of gaps between Dewi and I. The obvious one is the
physical space between us, filled with lots and lots of water. There
is also an age gap, which is quite significant. There is an experience
gap too. We can both list personal activities which the other won't
have experienced, but one of us has done far fewer than the other.
Today I discovered cultural differences which I hadn't picked up on
before. I guess it's to be expected in long distance friendships, but
some differences are harder to accept than others, so they cause
conflict. I'm the 'old fasioned' one, and Dewi is more modern. I want
to say I'm open minded but the old saying is true... you can't teach
an old dog new tricks.
