The lady with all of the bags and riding her bike showed up again today.

I watched her through my living room window, but this time I went to open the door and

greeted her with a warm smile and wave as she continued on her journey.

I was thankful that I had an opportunity to get to know about her struggles, losses and her courage to move forward in her life.

I am thankful for her wisdom, that she brought with her every time we had a opportunity to counsel each other.

“Farewell, my friend. I love you”, I shouted out and  closed the door.
