I wanted to share something that moved me to tears and smiles – a small cardboard heart hanging on my neighbor’s fence in the rain. It was in the same location I anonymously hung a May Day basket two days prior.
I don’t know my neighbor and he doesn’t know me though we’ve been living next door to each other for more than a year. I plan on replacing his heart with another note tonight.
To my wonderful daughter. When you set your mind and goals the inner you brooks no barrier. The fortitude, the strength in you is incredible. This implacable force makes me strengthen my own resolve to support you, to copy myself in your image, to do what I think will make you proud of me. You inspire me . . . You inspire the world.
