remembering a neighbor

this past weekend a neighbor past away and he was discovered by his family on sunday in his favorite recliner, he had past away sometime in his sleep. i can't call him friend just my neighbor as he changed over time. when i moved in may 4th 2005 he had already moved in on the second floor and right from the start he was very helpfull with anything i or anyone else needed done. this man was in his 70's but you wouldn't know it as he had the stamina of a 50 year old.

as time went on he got involved with another neighbor and they had a falling out with at least half the building, that neighbor moved out and so he was left on his own. in the fall of 2009 he fell ill and now had a bad heart as well as cancer, which brings me to the point a want to make as i have felt as he did that your all alone and you don't want to step out of your apartment for any reason. i manage to break myself of this however he couldn't and so he died as he lived ALONE.

i wake up every morning thankful i'm alive and live like it's my last day on earth, it would be easy to feel the way he did when you live in a building with sniors all around you and 3 days a week at the hospital with people whom you may not see again.

so farewell don i hope your happy now that you have gone to a better place
