One of my fav neighbors, Leon (a big, loud, cheerful afro american guy around 65 years old) had a heart attack several days ago. He is home now. After work, stopped by Sams Club and picked up 2 rotisserie chickens and a watermelon. Took it with a card over to his house. His wife, Sharon, answered the door. She is a sweetheart. Leon was napping. We talked, then she gave me the biggest hug. Got a little wet-eyed walking back to my place. I know he will be okay. This is one of the coolest people. He drives a big rig, bright yellow cab and knows I love it. When he sees me, he blows that deafening horn and yells out to me with his booming voice. And I can hear him laughing. They always bring me good food around holidays. Sharon makes the best pound cake E-V-E-R! Sharon was smiling when she hugged me but I knew she was understandably upset.
