91/365/People in 56/Dorothy

She moved in across the street, next to her daughter and granddaughter, and was always out, gardening. I’d apologize for her view. Her uphill neighbors claimed Garden District status (if you could see our down-and-out town, you’d laugh with us). She was good, kind, claimed to love Tim’s recorder playing. We’ve lost the most wonderful neighbor.

  4. And yet, how lovely that she was there, touching your lives if but for a short time.
