Nora and Eileen thought they’d never see each other again. But instead, they ended up coincidentally at the same nursing home and were able to rekindle their beautiful friendship.
Many besties hope that they’ll get to spend their senior years together.
But for Nora Boardman and Eileen Gill, it actually happened.
Even after they spent 70 years apart. And it was a total surprise to both of them.Boardman and Gill were childhood best friends and hadn’t seen each other in decades until they wound up at the same nursing home together.
When Gill moved to Crispin Court Care Home in Stafford, West Midlands she was totally shocked to see a familiar face.
It was her old school pal Boardman. The women were overjoyed to see one another when they confirmed each other’s identities.“And she says are you Nora Keelan?” Boardman recalls.
“Cuz I didn’t recognize her,” said Gill. “And I said, ‘Yeah.”
Boardman revealed her identity and, as Gill says, “That was it!”
“I just couldn’t believe it. I really couldn’t believe it,” said Boardman.
The women said they were truly glad to be together again and felt like they never skipped a beat.“I never thought I’d see Eileen again after we went our separate ways as children – so it was so nice to see her.
I couldn’t believe she was now going to be living in the same care home as me and we’d get to see each other every day. I feel lucky to have my best friend back in my life, it feels like nothing has changed,” Boardman said, according to DailyMail.
