Pretty soon, Mary's existence in my neighborhood, will be wiped away. She's been in heaven for 2 years and today is the day her son is clearing out the house and removing all of her belongings.
She was the first friend I made in this neighborhood. That was 21 years ago. She was a good friend and we looked out for each other. Once she started her journey to God, it was never the same. She wasn't here. She was already reaching for God's hand.
There is no other neighbor like her. The good ones are gone or passed. What's replaced them are selfish, inconsiderate NIMBYs. Not nice, at all.
Watching Mary's life be reduced to a junk truck and a moving truck is sad. But I am grateful that I was able to get a few things that will always remind me of her.
God bless you Mary. We'll meet again. But, I sure miss you.
