The Little Gestures

Today we spent most of our day "changing things up" in our home to make us feel more comfortable, or maybe it is a way to take our away our pain. But never-the-less it was a day of moving furniture and, in the back of our minds, a day of making sure David arrives home safely from Scotland. We were exhausted from moving furniture up and down three flights of stairs.

And then the gesture of kindness came across in an email. A neighbor had left over food from a party they had the night before and extended an invitation for dinner. Tony was off to a movie with his friends and we had no energy to cook. So the invitation was a life saver.

Those kind and, yes, even random gestures are so welcomed and appreciated.
