I Brought Groceries to My Elderly Neighbor Every Sunday for Twelve Years. After His Funeral, His Lawyer Handed Me a Suitcase I Never Expected.
“First time here?” I asked.
She nodded.
“I almost didn’t come.”
“I’m glad you did.”
I pulled out a chair and sat beside her.
We talked about the weather, the street where she lived, and what kind of coffee she liked.
Nothing remarkable.
Just the sort of conversation that can fill a Sunday morning without anyone noticing how important it might become.
