The Kindness of Neighbors

"The duty of helping one's self in the highest sense involves the helping of one's neighbors."
~ Samuel Smiles

A colleague of mine lost his mother less than two months ago.  His parents had been married more than 60 years and were just moving when his mother became ill, so now his father is in a new house in a new neighborhood without his lifetime partner.  My colleague shared that he was so happy to learn that a couple in the neighborhood walked over to his father's house to welcome him to the community and to get to know him.
