Late yesterday afternoon the doorbell rang,

Larry said, when he opened the door no one was there,

but there was a gift bag.

Inside the bag was a card with a poem

and a box.

We opened the gift together.

And cried.

Debbie, our wonderful next door neighbor

rang the doorbell and left the bag.

She told me that she was crying too.

How awesome is it,

when your friend  knows exactly how you feel?

Thank you Debbie.

This special gift makes me smile.

Through the tears of course.

I am trying……

Love you.
