Love Your Neighbors

I saw this on facebook, and I thought I should share this with all of you people. Here is the story.

In 2014, neighbors in a tight-knit Texas community began noticing an elderly neighbor named Charlie struggling to get through his daily walks around the block.

For Charlie, walking his two Yorkshire terriers became a coveted part of his every day routine since he was diagnosed with leukemia. Once an avid biker, walking his dogs was the only way he could get exercise and socialize with his neighbors while his wife Sandra was at work. Then, one day, something incredible happened.

One of Charlie’s neighbors left a chair in her front yard for him and attached a sign that said, “Chairs for Charlie … or for others in need of a rest.” Charlie was blown away by the simple yet sweet gesture. Before he knew it, dozens of chairs lined the streets near Charlie’s home of 10 years. “They symbolize the love the neighbors have for us,” Sandra said. Some neighbors even left out an extra chair for Sandra and water bowls for the couple’s dogs. When Charlie stopped to sit down, the homeowners often join him outside to take a few minutes out of their day and just talk.

“The thought of putting those chairs out makes you think about that there are other people and they care about you and watch out for you and try to help,” Charlie said.

Later that year, Charlie passed away at the age of 64. The chairs were left outside in his neighborhood, now adorned with flowers and messages of love.

I just want to add a little bit to what people said in this video. I agree we all should try to get to know our neighbors. It can be nerve wrecking to meet someone new, like i said in my last blog post let us all try to be kinder to other people even if you don't know them and let us all try not to judge other people or animals on the outer appearance and judge what is in the heart. Have a awesome day everyone.
