I was visiting with my neighbor. You know, the one who has done my dishes, mowed my lawn all summer, shoveled my walks this winter and helped whenever he could, while I was feeling awful. I feel I’ve done so little in return. Amidst our random chatting he mentioned his son again. The son he hasn’t seen for 20-25 years. His wife divorced him and moved across the country, remarried. He didn’t know where they were.
So just for the heck of it, I Googled him. Found him (or at least what we thought might be him) on Facebook. I sent him a message and got a reply right away. I gave him his dad’s phone number and he wrote back saying he just tried calling but got the answering machine. I said that would be because he was sitting here next to me. lol… So my friend hustled on home and I told his new found son to call him back. He was so afraid to have me write, thinking his son might want nothing to do with him. I think we were both shocked at the immediate reply.
Yeah, that was my awesome moment for the day. I think that goes triple for William 
Brought back memories of how awesome it was to finally meet my son (I had put him up for adoption) after only holding him one time in the hospital.
I would say this is flat, hit it out of the park, wonderful! There just can’t be a better feeling than to bring about such joy. Way to go!
I know, it was so random and I’m wondering why I didn’t think of it sooner!
Oh! How you touched my heart with this! On two extreme ends of the emotional scale!
It’s also the story of how people love their neighbors. Beautiful post, Anita!
He is a very loving neighbor, and he deserved something awesome like this
Wow! What a story! Rather, both stories. And how wonderful to have such a neighbor.

Yeah, I don’t know what I’d have done without him. It was great to see him so excited

Hey – I don’t like that – linking to someone else’s blog. I have no clue what is happening here. But it looks like this one will work. Let’s see.
