Wow, those three are going to feel very special. What an outpouring of love on your part. We lived for a while in a neighborhood that most did not appreciate the house full of boys (us) and one neighbor even told them they were not to come down to his side of the block. (really) Well, there was an elderly couple at the end of the block who were one of the first in the neighborhood and had been there for almost fifty years and they hurt so deeply for "those good boys". Anyways, the lady painted each of them a raccoon on a rock so they each could have a pet. That gesture of love and making something for their very own to treasure is their memory of that neighbor; they remember love and community and connectedness instead of rejection. Little children need good neighbors. Way to go, Neighbor!
