I cannot stay away from this forum. It is necessary to look for posts from tponetom, and read of the lives shared by an inspirational couple.
I wish that I was a neighbor, and could help with a smile, a nod, and maybe a shopping errand from time to time. So, I have decided to "adopt" an elderly neighbor who lives down the street. I knew her husband, who died nearly thirty years ago. Asked yesterday if she needs any help: "No, thank you, dear, my sons live nearby."
This morning, as I took my daily walk, she was at the door, smiling and waving. Never saw her at the door before. Aha! It appears that a connection has been made. I will be here, and she knows it.
Thanks, Tom & Peggy......
