old neighbor

Tonight Edison received a phone call from one of our old neighbors. He lived diagonally from us with his wife and mother-in-law. They were always kind to us. He would take time to ask how we were doing and to share with us how he was doing. Ali and Sammie remember him well because he helped us jump our car twice! He came to our rescue.

He called to tell us that his wife was killed in a car accident about two weeks ago. She was driving home from work and had an accident. She was a very sweet woman. She and her mother moved here from the Philipines and they would always wave or say "Hi" to us when we saw each other. They opened their home once every year for everyone in the neighborhood to just eat and hang out. My heart aches thinking about what he and his mother-in-law must be going through. Tonight, hug the people you love and tell them how much you love them. Every day is a gift from God.
