Oh my gosh, it was THE best part of our day when we stopped by our neighbor's apartment. He's a quiet guy, a brilliant guy, and keeps all of his feelings about serving in Iraq to himself. We've inherited his kitty cat because he's allergic. SO. We got him some treats and we bundled up the kitty and knocked on his door and told him how grateful we were and how proud the kitty was of him (why yes, I DO anthropomorphize. :)) And although we've thanked him every year he's been back, this is the first time that he was able to smile so dearly and truly. And THAT made us even MORE grateful and just humbled that he accepted our thanks. It was quite wonderful.
