I Enjoy Helping Others

David is one of the most wonderful people I ever met.

I have very bad knees which require a walker. I live on the fourth floor, and now with the virus on the loose, residents need to wear masks in all public areas, including the lobby, laundry rooms, and the elevators. I had no way to get out and GET any.

David lives on the third floor. He not only went out and got me a pair, but got me a gallon milk for my cereal, juice, and bread.

This isn't the only thing David does. He gets rid of my trash and recyclables for me. When my groceries are delivered, he brings them directly upstairs for me. He brings my newspapers up to me from the lobby. Needless to say, I am now quite spoiled over this treatment and feel a little guilty, too.

I saw David in the hall just this morning. He stopped to say "good morning" and pick up three pieces of mail I had EMailed a request to take. Once more, I half-apologized for all the requests for help.

David smiled under the mask and replied, "That's okay. I LIKE to help others."

That may be so, but he STILL has one spoiled neighbor just overhead!

He's a godsend. May he be blessed and remain healthy. It reassured me so much to know, that my dear sisterheart is so well cared for. :*

@RobinPhoenix He ist wundervoll, kleiner Bruder. I can't say it enough. Yesterday, I went to the mail room/lobby to check on whatever the delivery man left. Then, I checked in the hall closet (packages und usually my newspaper during the week wind up there). I always check to see if David has anything, too. He didn't, but there was a gut-sized box fuer me, which I couldn't manage on the walker und get it back upstairs. I replaced it in the closet und left it. I returned upstairs, EMailed David und explained the situation. His reply was, "I will check it when I get back."

He brought it up when he returned from work two hours later.

I can set mein clock by him.
