No words. Just tears. And the desire to do more.
This morning, as I got ready to clean my house (which is something that never, ever happens), I hear a commotion from next door, and my dog started barking. I turned around to look out the window, and my elderly neighbor, who I do not know except to maybe wave and say hi, was being put into an ambulance. I got up, and went over to the window, and I asked the EMT if the gentleman had any pets he needed looking after. The EMT opened the back door on the ambulance, asked the gentleman a question, and the EMT turned to me and said yes, my neighbor had a cat and would I please look in on it. I said I would be glad to – because that’s what neighbors do, isn’t it? They watch out for each other? I would like to think someone would watch out for me if anything happened…
I hope that he will be okay, and I will make it my “job” to be a better person, and get to know my neighbors better. You never know.
Ame - that's A ME!
