OUR NEIGHBORS ARE THE BEST NEIGHBORS, EXAMPLE 3

This actually happened on November 26, 2017, and I back posted it so it would match up with the first two stories of our neighbors! Maybe this should be a yearly post!

Russ was outside unloading groceries when our across the street neighbor we had not yet met but had waved at from time to time came over to give us something. Our next door neighbor Christian (my coworker Chrystal's boyfriend) noticed they were not understanding each other and came to help.

Christian speaks Spanish and English. He helped Russ and our neighbor talk to each other. The neighbor had just had a birthday party for his daughter who turned five. He had come to bring us tostadas and cake from the party!

That was so sweet of him and his family!

I love our ever changing neighborhood and our neighbors.

TO THERAPY

The advice of my therapist fifteen years ago was to get rid of our dogs, Ebony and Copper, as she said they were stressing me out.

OUT OF THE DARKNESS

Sometimes God lets our hearts be broken for people groups, then heals our hearts in such a way that we can be used to help heal other hearts.

Russ and the doctor at the hospital and Dr. Bashara had all insisted I take that week to transition back to Real Life. I said I did not need it.

THE FIRST WEEK HOME

This is part of a month long series on depression...
 

The first week home was one of the best weeks I can remember.

Abby and Amanda and I spent the last week of summer together.

Eleanor (our van) and I drove the girls and their friends all over Omaha.

Abby's friend Chloe handed me a bouquet of flowers the first time she got into the van that week. I held onto them till the very last daisy. I loved them so much.
