My guardian angel neighbor
The best neighbor I have ever had was when
I lived in California. She lived right down the street from me
and had six children. My mother asked her if I could come over
to her house early in the mornings for school because she is in
the military and had to be at work early. Since we had already
sold our house, I didn’t have any other place to go. My neighbor
agreed and every morning at 5 a.m. I entered her home and was greeted
by her dog. She gave me my own key and every afternoon I would
go to her house and wait patiently for my mother to come and get
me. She always used to have some sort of snack waiting for me when
I went there, and I essentially became part of her family. She
never once asked my mother for money to pay for me staying there.
And never complained about having to set an extra place at the
dinner table when my mother had to work overtime. She always treated
me as a part of her family and welcomed me with open arms, and
I thank her for that. She truly was my guardian angel that God
sent.
