We take neighbor relationships with us whenever we move. And we move a lot, so we carry a long list of people from house to house. One of our most precious longstanding neighbor ties is with the Sheas. They lived across from us at our last house for 8 years. We watched our kids grow up together, shared daily life, meals, ingredients, stories, tears, walked through loss and birth and everything in between. It was rather heartbreaking when they moved just a mile away, but we followed in their footsteps shortly after. We've managed to stay in community, despite the lack of daily encounters. Maria recently had a significant birthday so 2 other ex neighborhood mama friends I organized a surprise birthday celebration for her. We set up our dining room table on the back patio and did our very best to make her feel like a princess for the night. I think we succeeded.
Cheers Maria. Happy happy birthday girl.
