Day 14: Neighbors

You know the saying, "You don't know how good you have it til it's gone."? Well, that's the case for us with our "old" neighbors. Where we live now we have 2 sets of neighbors close by. Both are weird! At our old house we knew the Gambles, our immediate next door neighbors, would help us in a heartbeat.....with anything! Down the property a few hundred feet was where our babysitter's house was. She would walk up to watch P at the drop of a hat and we knew we could trust her with our first born. Down the road was our realtor who also helped with the dogs, the horses, etc. Her husband helped with house stuff a few times when Rob was out of town. It was nice to have a close knit community that had each other's backs. When P was so sick as an infant and we didn't have a chance to go home after we took him to the hospital 2 of our neighbors noticed we hadn't been home and just took charge of Holly and the horses, no questions asked. When we finally made it back home from our hospital stay one of the neighbors had framed our first family photo after P's birth and had it displayed when we walked in the door. So, today I am thankful for our "old" neighbors, ones who watched out for us and took care of us without ever asking for a thing in return.
