Robert

I first met Robert back in February when he shared his story with me (here). Today I had the chance to stop and chat again. Robert told me that the Oregon cold doesn't bother him because he grew up in Wyoming and is used to much colder weather.  He appreciated the fact that I stopped by to talk with him and that I remembered his name.  These stories are what drive me and I truly wish I had more time to get out each day and meet new neighbors like Robert.  His bright eyes and cheerful, slight smile bring warmth to my heart.  I'm reminded that we are all fighting our own battles, in one way or another - and I for one, need to be thankful for every day that I've been given.
