Yes, really community is about reaching out to those who are different than us because we can learn the most from and gain the most from those friendships. I am so glad we are being given that opportunity in our current neighborhood. I'm definitely learning and growing; and my girls are surrounded by so much love!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430429105254006885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339711504606561771.post-19314068328636895982012-04-20T16:57:09.386-07:002012-04-20T16:57:09.386-07:00This post in particular jumped my heart into my th...This post in particular jumped my heart into my throat... <br />My grandparents were the recipients of the love and energy from neighborly relationships, and I am eternally grateful for it. (As a result, I was also a recipient of that warmth and love, and it has given me a new "family" that I have worked in to my life!) <br />In my adult life, I am trying to bring that approach into neighborhoods of which I am a part. As a result of the last four years, I got to know our San Martin Place next-door neighbor, "Charles." He still sends the occasional email while I'm in Chicago, and I visit him when I am in town. Your girls will grow up having seen the richness of a full community and all the spectrums of ages and walks of life... and certainly they are warming and enriching your neighbors' lives. Rock on, Cherry family.stine.odegardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171100889724879537noreply@blogger.com
