“I never thought this day would come,” said Marley, right. Her best friends Veronika and Yan packed up and moved to New York. Their family and ours along with other friends spent the morning in our kitchen packing food, eating, telling stories, while the kids watched a DVD together. Such a sad ending to a Mayberry-like relationship with our sweet neighbors Anton, Lena, Yan and Veronika. They were there during the worst time in my life and I’ll be forever grateful for their love and friendship over the past two years.
Buddies Yan, 9, and Avery, 5 pose for a photo. Recently Avery yelled to Yan across the cul-de-sac, “You are the bestest neighbor in the whole world!”
Marley and Veronika give each other a hug for the road. When Veronika first attended The Redmont School about four years ago, she would cry after Lena left her. Marley called her “the crying girl.” She would hold her hand on the playground. Later, the family surprised us when they moved three doors down from us only a week after Marley and Avery’s best friends Patton and Taiyou moved to New Mexico.
