One thought on “The Day I Failed My Neighbors”
Something similar happened just this past month to us. Elderly neighbors across the road from us that have lived there for 30+ years recently put out a For Sale sign in front of their house.

Their children in another state had come, packed them up and moved them to live next door to them. In talking to another neighbor I found that they were struggling to keep up with the place. Epic fail on my part – I had no idea.
