In a world where you can't tell the intent of people , where wickedness strives and majority of the people around us don't care, a good neighbor would make you feel safe always and happy.
Having good neighbors, is like embracing peace and constant kindness, you never know how peaceful it's to have a good neighbor until you have a bad experience or hear others complain.
In response to this prompt;
Talk about your relationship with your neighbors (now or in the past)? What score would you give them.
I can gladly say that I'm blessed with the best neighbors, it been years, over 15years, we have been neighbors since I was still little and till date, the connection and bond have always been same , despite the fact that we have always been separated by a fence , the fence hasn't been a barrier or limitation to how we communicate, support and stand out for each other.
I can say we are like one family , support ourselves like we are connected by blood and even hangout like family.
We have created good, fun and amazing memories together, I can vividly remember when we were all in secondary school, we attended same school, our parents attended PTA meetings together, we meet in school and also meet at the neighborhood, which was really fun and enjoyable.
We did our homeworks together and even gossiped about our teachers together.
I can vividly remember when a class mate threatened to beat me up at a particular side of the road that leads to my house, which was the closest route home too, being a little petite girl who only had enough to talk back, but obviously not enough energy to fight back, I became really scared.
I sneaked to my neighbors eldest son class to cry, and he was so angry and furious, held my hands like a brother after school and we headed home, I walked with so much confidence that I wouldn't be hurt , when we got the place the bully boy was already waiting to beat me up, when he sighted my neighbor , he ran away immediately, I can't forget that day so easy or fast , because if I was alone, I would have been dealt with or waited within the school premises for a long time.
Christmas is approaching, and it's usually one of the best times for I and my neighbors, we share gifts and meals together, we will also sit outside more often telling ourselves stories , we will stand outside our gates , according to our age pair, and this is definitely one of the best moments during the Christmas with my neighbors.
New year eve after church service, we also burn tires and wood together for fun in the street.
One of the best memories we shared was during my sisters wedding, we celebrated together, travelled together and they supported like siblings to us, her wedding was during the Christmas holiday that was the best part of it .
It have always been fun and peaceful with my neighbors, just like we have celebrated our wins, together, we have also morned together, just last year my neighbor lost their dad, and it was really a pain to my family , It was really a sad death and the pain really got to us, we spent most of the nights together with my neighbors , till date we still remember him, just like we celebrated together, we also morned together, went to his funeral together and cried together.
My neighbors and I, shared alot of childhood experience and must of us are young adults now and we still appreciate every moment we spend together as neighbors.
It's really a blessing to have a neighbors like mine, to have a concrete and healthy relationship for years, I would say my family is lucky to have them as neighbors.
