Grateful For Being Taught To Love My Neighbors.

--by tinaturn, posted Mar 26, 2015

I'm grateful that my Mom taught me to love and respect my elders. Tonight as the power was flashing on and off, I lit a candle in my apartment.

Then I went and checked on 3 elderly neighbors between the ages of 84 and 92. I took candles and a lighter with me to make sure that they would be okay if the power did indeed go out. I know that at their age, a fall could be devastating.

These women are wonderful and I love them like they were my own grandmothers. Besides, how can I expect someone to help my grandma, if I'm not willing to help and check in on another person's grandma. Thank you Mom.
