Joining with the Five Minute Friday community sponsored by Lisa-Jo Baker. Each Friday, Lisa-Jo posts a one word prompt and
for five minutes we join together in an international community to write what the prompt brings to mind. No
rewrite, no editing just letting the words flow from our hearts.
Today's Prompt: Friend
Today's Prompt: Friend
Out in the back yard, a new
young neighbor of my parents has brought his father to help saw up the tree
which fell during the brutal Michigan ice storm a few months ago. He had
introduced himself as I was walking in my parents’ backyard after coming from
the hospital a few days ago from visiting my mom. He said he had seen my dad at
times during the winter and knew he was older so he wanted to help him out by
clearing away the ice storm debris. I told him about how things had been with
my mom and how it would be welcomed and thanked him. When he went to borrow his
dad’s power saw and told him why, his dad came with him.
One of the
definitions of a friend is ‘person who gives assistance, aid and support’.
Today, these two wonderful men who a week ago didn’t know me from Adam fit the
definition of being friends to our family. God bless them.
