My neighbor is the kindest, most generous, most sincere person I know. She came home from work early today in a nasty snowstorm to drive me to the vet to have my cat put to sleep so that I wouldn't have to drive myself. She does so much for so many people without any expectation of any sort of reward and is always surprised and overwhelmed when someone does something for her. I try to help as often as possible by taking her dog to the beach, shovelling her walks and driveway and putting together things that come with some assembly required, but she still insists on doing something back, like baking cookies. I may not be wealthy in a material sense, but I have the friendship of someone who is worth more than all the gold in all the world. How lucky I am to be so loved!
