I Feel Good Helping People

There is an older man, a widower who lives next door to us. He has been a neighbor to my stepdad for years and years, and for my mom and me for the last year. He can be a bit grumpy sometimes but still we try and help out how we can.

I go over maybe once a week for an hour or so and clean up a bit, my mom does too. His daughter comes to do this but she doesn't always get there. When we do baking we sometimes bake a little extra something for him. It feels good to help and I know he appreciates it even if sometimes he forgets to show it. He is a proud man and doesn't always like to admit he needs help or hand outs.

Works out both ways though, we don't have room for a garden but he does so often gives us some stuff out of his garden and he has given me a portion to grow stuff for myself.

That's really admirable. My grandfather (a widower) has a friend and her daughter come over sometimes to help out with these kinds of things, too. He's pretty stubborn, as well, but he definitely has told me how much he appreciates it. That being said, I'm sure that this elderly man you go help out is really thankful for what you do. It means more to them than we know, I think. Anyway, you have my respect. Keep being a great person! :-)
