Friendship is a timeless treasure, even in the pages of history. Take a moment to appreciate the significance of friendship in early childhood, as evidenced in primary sources. From diaries and letters to photographs and artwork, we find traces of deep bonds and lifelong friendships. Let's celebrate these connections that transcend time and inspire us today.
