Awww, I love this neighborly story. Society as it should be. I'll bet you are a good neighbor, Justin.

These neighbors make me smile. I'd like to live there. I enjoyed "Neighbors" a lot.

What a sweet story. We have an eighty-five year old woman in my neighborhood who just never stops doing things for others. She brings in everyone's empty garbage cans, dresses up as a witch on Halloween for the kids, and tucks "anonymous" Valentines with Hershey's kisses in everyone's mailbox. She is a short story in and of herself. Good neighbors are more rare than they should be.

Do you want to swap neighbours?

All the feels man. This really made me appreciate my partner. This is the kind of fiction I need when I take things for granted. The kind of fiction that makes you hug your wife a little longer because you know tomorrow isn’t promised. Thank you

What a great story Justin. I bet you are one of those kind neighbors. It's to bad that everyone can't be like those two.

What a gorgeous illustration of community.

I was tempted to say - rural life at its finest, but then it jumped to small town, then city life at its finest. There are great people everywhere. The true ones don't make any news because it's really quite common. But thanks for the reminder. And for those who might be thinking - that would certainly not be true where I live, I would see that as an opportunity.
