When I took a walk, went to the coffee shop, or came back from the area grocery store, casino, or shopping center/mall, I always saw a gentleman, my aunt's neighbor, commuting by wheelchair around the community. My aunt told him that she wanted him to meet us when she first mentioned we were coming to town. I just admired him as he did what he wanted to do and went where he wanted to go - regardless of what others may have viewed as a challenge. Whereever I was, he was there too. Never close enough to experience a mutual greeting.
We went to LA for three nights and four days and came back Monday night.
My aunt's neighbor passed over the weekend after a series of things following a freak accident that was not life threatening.
It can always be said that things work out as they do or are meant to be. But with that philosophy, does the concept of "missed opportunity" exist?
I have pondered this almost every day since 2006.
