You and Jilda are kindred souls. Of course Jilda is making the soup and you have to test it before giving it to the neighbours. Just teasing you... You are both kind and generous souls. I hope your neighbour's wife pulls through. <br />JB<br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-55480716464063162762015-11-17T09:10:33.853-06:002015-11-17T09:10:33.853-06:00Tommorow is the anniversary of my Dad's passin...Tommorow is the anniversary of my Dad's passing. My Mom was only 50...Dad was 56. Mom is 89. That's along time to be a widow. My heart goes out to couples who end up alone after so many years together. Yesterday as I was walking in the cemetery I overheard an elderly man talking to his wife at her gravesite. My heart hurt for him. Your kindness to your neighbor will be a bright spot in his day. yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-81045947731914785832015-11-17T07:20:05.606-06:002015-11-17T07:20:05.606-06:00As sad as it is when they are ended, it is still i...As sad as it is when they are ended, it is still inspiring to hear of long term relationships... ...and caring neighbors.

My parents were together for 27 years but they had a strong love. My dad had brain cancer and, in July, 1987, he had an operation which gave 9 more months. Many people stopped visiting but a woman came by, whom we hadn't seen in quite a while and brought soup and cookies. She was gentle and always had a soft smile. I treasure her more than anyone and my mom, even with dementia, remembers her kindness. Believe me what you and your wife did and will do, means more than you may ever realize.

As far as losing someone, I had been divorced from my husband for more than 20 years when he died. We were not 'friends' but we still respected one another and shared 4 children. I was shocked at how deeply I mourned for him. Who knows what it would have been like if we were still married. It IS scary to think about.

It never 'fixes' things, but the appreciation and the good feelings for trying cannot be priced. Sweet of you and Jilda, You guys are good neighbors.<br />YOu mentioned Yvonne and 58 years. Sherry and I have been married 59+ years, we know life will not give us much more, one of us will be left. But until then I want to be as your guys, 'Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man!"<br />Very good entry my friend.jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-12636344220862637652015-11-16T21:04:07.656-06:002015-11-16T21:04:07.656-06:00God bless this couple.
