[quote=Anonymous]When we (young couple with young children) moved into our home, one of our favorite neighbors became the senior widower on the street. We loved hearing his stories about how the neighborhood used to be, swapping gardening and home improvement advice, and just stopping to visit with him on his front porch if he was out. When he passed away, almost half the people in the church were neighbors from our street. If your dad is capable of living alone, encourage him not to discount the "new people." They might become new friends. If he's not caring for himself as well as he should, maybe hearing his old friends' stories about their new lives might encourage him to follow suit.[/quote]
