My neighbor on one side is blind so I talk to her a couple times a day and run over to help her do all kinds of things. (Her family gets tired of helping her so they ignore her calls!!) She can do much so she is bored all the time. On the other side an elderly couple with no kids or family are dealing with a bout of cancer for him. I am also available for what ever they need. I have a busy life anyway and some times I complain to my husband about their neediness but I would never let them know. I just get tired and have to vent. He helps too and knows where I'm coming from. Does that count?
