Life in Geezerville: Saying Goodbye to Friends

Today the 'hood is having a going away party for one of our neighbors. Sadly, they are leaving our beautiful little place in the world to be closer to their family, which moved far, faraway. We will miss our neighbors--our friends--a lot, even though we know why they are leaving, and we think it's a good idea.

I saw this quote somewhere on the 'net...and it felt right. What do you think?

    Friends are the people in life 

who make you laugh a little louder;

 smile a little brighter; 

and life a little better!

That's what this neighborhood is about. Friends who are family. We are community. We are related. We are there for each other. Now we get to introduce some poor unsuspecting souls to our 'hood. We have not met our new neighbors but I believe they are going to be in for a surprise. A happy surprise.

We will miss our old neighbors more than they will ever know. They have helped make this 'hood as wonderful as it is...and I wish them a 'hood like this wherever they hang their hat next. There's nothing like a good 'hood with friends. Remember, we're all in this together.
