52 Week Blessing Challenge – Week 13 Good Neighbors

HPIM2233a

It is such a blessing to have good neighbors. All of our neighbors are quiet, respectful, ever helpful, and don’t try to burn the neighborhood down with fireworks.

This last Friday our good neighbor and friend E. went to heaven. Having her as a neighbor was something I will always cherish. The first day I met her I knew she was going to be a good neighbor…. I watched her pick all the weeds in my yard while she was walking up to the front door! What a good neighbor.

But more than picking weeds she was a comfort and a friend. We shared time shopping at the grocery store together, going to the post office together, even taking walks down the block together. She shared her family with us, and we shared our family with her.

And now in these days after her death we mourn along with her family, over the loss of one so dear. We’ll miss you, our dear neighbor, you will not be forgotten!
