                                   I recently bought a house and moved in the first weekend of July.

Since I have been in my new neighborhood, Ihave had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors who seem to be extremelynice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of theneighbors that I know. I sat down and counted. There were nine neighbors but Idecided to add one more person to my list for a total of ten. This lady that Idecided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walkingto work as I drive down the street. She always manages a sweet smile and ahearty wave. I had no idea what her name was and was not even sure which houseshe lived in.

My gift idea was to make small fruitbaskets and leave them on each of my neighbors’ front porches or door-steps thenight of Christmas Eve for them to find, either that night or the next morning.I signed the cards—“Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”

My neighbors really appreciated the basketsand would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a coupleeven came by to thank me.

This morning on my way to work, I placed mymail in the mailbox and noticed a small note inside. It was addressed simply“Resident,5104 Northumberland Road.”

I opened the envelope and took out a ThankYou card. I opened the card and read the message which really caught me bysurprise.

The card said：“Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left onthe porch of Richard Kelly. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed awayless than a month ago. He never stopped talking about how nice it was thatsomeone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”

I was sincerely moved. I had no idea whoRichard Kelly was or that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nicelady’s basket on Mr. Kelly’s porch by accident.
