She is a very nice lady...very hard of hearing and a little sad and lonely. She misses her old house and all of her things. For as much as I love the fact that her son built this house for her next door, I don't think they were as sensitive as they could have been about uprooting her. She likes being next door to her boy, but misses her old friends and really needs to get out more to socialize. She comes with us to church sometimes and likes it because they have a hearing device for her to use.

She walked into the apartment they'd made plans to occupy and she just couldn't do it, so she moved in with George, who had an apartment at the opposite end of the rectory, that Granny and Granddaddy had been staying in whenever they'd come to visit.
When I saw her again, later that summer, she said she was really depressed at not being able to be at her own Parish and near her friends. She knew that there was no way she'd have been able to stay there by herself, the neighborhood had been deteriorating for years, but she still felt that keen sense of loss, and she couldnt' make George understand that she just wasn't interested in getting involved in his Parish.
What a blessing for your neighbor that your kids like to visit.
