I've lived on my block for over six years now. I'm friendly enough, but not terribly close with my neighbors. I mind my own business and try to be sure I don't bother anyone with an unkempt yard. When it snows, I try to help clean the snow from my neighbor's sidewalk along with my own. It's a nice place.
Now I'm moving and I'm a bit sad I'm leaving my friendly little street. I ran into my next door neighbor and another this evening when we came home from work at the same time. I told them I was leaving and they seemed sad. I'm still touched by their sincere wishes for a happy future for N and myself.
I wish I had made a bit more of an effort to get to know them all better. I'll make more of an effort in my new neighborhood.
