I'm blessed to have a next-door neighbor who is a friend. When our son ended up in the hospital for two weeks, more than an hour's drive away, I could call upon her to look in on my pets each day. This was not only convenient but a relief for me that I didn't have to be concerned about their welfare while being with our son. I've been able to be there for her in times of need, too. To have a friend you can call on as though they are family is truly a blessing.
