Growing up my son's best friend was a widower who lived 2 houses down. When he died he left everything to us, his family was irate. I was a single mother and he wanted to ensure "the boy," as he called him, was taken care of. "The boy," now a grown man, lives in his house.

When I was growing up my parents were either working like crazy or fighting nonstop so I would end up outside to get away from it. I had an old couple that lived to the right of us, a old woman who lived to the left of us, an old woman that lived across from us & another one that lived next to her. They all basically became my neighborhood grandparents. They taught me how to garden, bake, cook, & other stuff. They fed me & got me gifts on Christmas & my birthday. They came to school concerts & never missed a birthday party. Tina, Louie, Viola, Vinny & Mitsy there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. Thank you for everything you taught me that I now get to teach my own kids 🥰

Find Me On the Hiking Trails💕 :
My dad was never around when I was a little girl. My newly married neighbour in his late 20’s had toddler kids that were too young so always asked me to play catch with him when I was 11. He taught me how to hit, pitch, catch… all of it. He helped me make our city rep team and later provincial team. I came from a very non-athletic family. He and his wife also came to my games when they could. I’m 40 now and will never forget that man’s kindness! He made my life so much better. So I fully support this!!! 😁

My dad is 77 and his new bestie is the 5 year old next door. He starts kindergarten this year so he might find a new friend but maybe my dad will get invited to grandparents days

My hubs best friend was our 7 year old neighbour during the pandemic. When we moved he had breakfast with them and both were crying at the end.

He will always be The 9 Year Old. Even when he’s 20. It’s canon.
