Since I have been in my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors. My 41 idea was to make small fruit baskets and leave them on each of my neighbors’ front porches (門廊) the night of Christmas Eve for them to find. I 42 the cards: “Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”
I 43 the friendly lady for last, since I was still not exactly sure where she lived. I44 decided upon a house down about where I met her each morning and felt relatively 45 that it was hers.
This morning I noticed a small 46 inside the mailbox. It was addressed simply — Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road. I opened the 47 and took out a Thank You card. The 48 said, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you 49 on the porch of Richard Kelly. It was very 50 . Richard Kelly passed away half a month ago. He never stopped 51 about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of 52 . He really appreciated it.”
I was sincerely 53 . I had no idea who Richard Kelly was or that he had been gravely ill. I had left that 54 lady’s basket on Mr Kelly’s porch by 55 . I wanted to say by mistake, but that would be wrong. I believe that Richard Kelly was 56 to have that basket. I hate that the lady did not get to 57 a fruit basket from me, but I believe that 58 she knew what had happened, she would not have had the outcome any other way.
I feel blessed to have helped Richard Kelly’s last days be more 59 . This just further reinforces (加強) my belief that there are never any 60 in life.
