I’m not really one to give unsolicited advice, but I will encourage anyone to get to know their neighbors. They’re great in an emergency, like when you can’t find your laundry room key, or when you need to get rid of a loaf of banana bread you baked when you were bored. Plus, when you know your neighbors, you’re less likely to go a whole day without speaking to another human when you suddenly fall victim to the blues.
These portraits of your neighbors are pure gold. All the layers are there, I can see and hear them so clearly! plus the killer advice I needed to hear 💖
Ah Steff, you imbue a gentleness into your neighbors that are palpable through your words. Won't lie, I got a few sappy tears while reading. They, us, you are survivors in this day to day adventure called life. Our neighbors often blur through our lives until they don't. It can be a shared "hood" experience, illness, or living not so vicariously through our kids or a chance encounter at Ralphs. What I do know, although I can't figure it out, is that Elvis transcends messages to you from people who really dislike him (me, Jack and Bobbie) with memorabilia! Now that is scary! Love you Steff!
