Mum and Dad lead quiet unobtrusive lives, taking others into account at all times and the payback for their strength and belief in curtesy and kindness has come back to my Mum and has helped her tremendously.
Everyone 'looks out' for my Mum, especially at times when they know that we can't be with her as we all work. It's a comfort having folk around her like this and a great help to us. So as Steve says, it's there,community spirit, it shows especially at a time like this and I think we're all capable of it and not thinking the worst of everyone. |
Sorry to hear about your Dad, Wild-Woman.
It's touching to hear that people rallied round to help and I'm sure it meant a lot to you all.
