Since I have been in my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors. My gift 36 was to make small fruit baskets and leave them on each of my neighbors’ front gate the night of Christmas Eve for them to find. I 37 the cards: “Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”
I saved the friendly lady for last, since I was still not exactly 38 where she lived. I 39 decided upon a house nearby where I 40 her each morning and felt relatively sure that it was hers.
This morning I noticed a small 41 inside the mailbox. It was addressed simply — Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road. I opened the 42 and took out a Thank You card. The 43 said, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you 44 on the gate of Richard Kelly. It was very 45 of you. Richard Kelly passed away half a month ago. He never stopped 46 about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of 47 . He really appreciated it.”
I was sincerely 48 . I had no idea who Richard Kelly was or that he had been 49 ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on Mr Kelly’s porch by 50 . I wanted to say by mistake, but that would be wrong. I believe that Richard Kelly was 51 to have that basket. I hate that the lady did not 52 a fruit basket from me, but I believe that 53 she knew what had happened, she would not have had the outcome any other way.
I feel blessed to have made Richard Kelly’s last days more 54 . This just further strengthen my belief that there are never any 55 in life.
