My 82 year old father lives on a 10 acre piece of property. He tries to stay busy in the daylight, putzing around doing odd jobs on his land. But it's the long winter days and evenings that worry me. I am sooooo thankful for his wonderful neighbors who have done as you have. They've dropped in for coffee, delivered garden goods and home cooked meals. He recaps with delight their brief visit in his lonely day. I know you will keep reaching out to your old neighbor, too. Many months may pass, and he may look busy as he passes his day, but he will welcome your "gifts" for many years to come!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573392140119733765.post-24047913377965019032011-12-31T16:38:19.993-05:002011-12-31T16:38:19.993-05:00What a touching story and one we should all take t...What a touching story and one we should all take to heart.<br /><br />Visiting from SNS. <br /><br />Happy New Year!Vickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573392140119733765.post-80704957762713478092011-12-21T13:50:42.600-05:002011-12-21T13:50:42.600-05:00This touched my heart!
