My neighbors helped my husband take care of me during my cancer scares and we now take care of a neighbor who became a widow 3 years ago. She is having cancer surgery next week and she doesn't have biological family here to help, but the "family" she's acquired while living here.

We take care of each other. That's part of living here.

A beautiful post indeed.
