our neighbors .... what a gold mine

Imagine .....
there is someone seriously ill or a death of someone close
there is some issues going on of concern
there is some exciting news
there is a significant birthday
there is .... well, nothing in particular at all.
imagine ....

a neighbor comes over to console another neighbor at a time when there is NOTHING to say or do to make things better. returning more than once, even though the one grieving might lash out from frustration & fear.
a neighbor comes over to lend moral support without being asked- just to be there in case you need to talk, or vent or a hug.
a neighbor is as excited & happy for you as you are in sharing something wonderous
a neighbor is there to poke fun at you & laugh with you & celebrate with you.
a neighbor comes by or stops in their tracks JUST to say hi.
imagine .......
THOSE NEIGHBORS ..... are real.
