Funerals

Today’s Run:  Eleven very long miles.

Earlier this week, I noticed that our neighbors house was having a bit more traffic that usual.  And that people were dressed a little fancier, too.  Did not give it a second thought.

Then, I noticed an obituary in the newspaper with a familiar name.  Funny, I have a neighbor with that name.  But dummy me did not put two and two together.

Today we had a funeral procession go down our street and stop at the neighbors house.  Boy, do I feel stupid!  The entire week I could have been doing something to help like:  cook a meal, cut their grass, anything…but no ~ I did my own thing and ignored the entire situation.  So, now, (finally) I am going to send some flowers.  They have a lot of people visiting and having me come over would be BAD.  Just suffice it to say, from now on I will pay a bit more attention to the people around me and try to be a better neighbor.
