My neighbor cares for her husband who has a traumatic brain injury. He is pretty high functioning but declining. I was happy to learn that she was able to get away for a few days. Her husband can’t be left alone, and a generous couple that they know well offered to come and stay with him. He has a recumbent bike and goes riding often with a friend of his. Today I saw him across the street with the couple that is staying with him. The husband was also on a recumbent bike and his wife was on a regular bike. They were sitting still waiting to cross the road. I could hear them talking, but unable to make out every word. I did hear the man say, “Well, let’s get you home,” and they crossed the street. A little while later, the man was walking with my neighbor on his walker. They reached the man’s truck where he packed up the walker, got in, and left for a while. I don’t know where they went, and it doesn’t really matter. I was just so impressed that this couple was spending such caring, quality time with my neighbor. It was a beautiful sight.
I Found God today in a couple caring for my neighbor.
