This is a beautiful, heartwarming story and I'm glad you've shared it with us. I'm sure your neighbor friend will never forget the way his community reached out to him in his time of deepest need.<br /><br />There are many things I love about New York, but any sense of community or neighborliness is something we're sorely missing in such a big anonymous city.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468713627933431744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083286.post-44409409743050517052010-03-19T08:27:52.496-05:002010-03-19T08:27:52.496-05:00My heart goes out to the professor.

The loss of my community of friends was the most devastating part of my move from San Francisco. Finally, after almost four years, I've begun to build a new network, and I appreciate it in a whole new way. Your friend is very lucky to have so many people to look after him at such a terrible time in his life. Hopefully it will provide some necessary solace in an otherwise horribly bleak situation.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432497142155757992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083286.post-53676532843251997282010-03-19T00:06:27.083-05:002010-03-19T00:06:27.083-05:00Thank you for this wise, heartening and uplifting ...Thank you for this wise, heartening and uplifting post. My heart goes out to your neighbor friend, and I got tears in my eyes reading about how your community -- family, friend, and protector -- came to his aid and comfort. Therein lies what is best in us as human beings, whether we live in cities, in the suburbs, or in the country -- our capacity to recognize in one another our common humanity and to uplift, hold close, and care for one another.Thomma Lynhttp://www.thommalyngrindstaff.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
