What makes someone a neighbour? Is it simply proximity? A few years ago, I likely would have said that a neighbour was someone who lived on your street, or at the very least, lived in the same city.
Personally, I think that there is much more to being a neighbour than proximity. Being a neighbour involves more than a quick hello now & then. A neighbour is someone who will walk beside you in every kind of weather, with no questions asked.
When I lived in the house where I grew up, there was a happy atmosphere. When we moved, I wanted to bring our neighbours with us. Proximity made it easy to call them neighbours, but they were and continue to be our friends.
Whether you live next door, down the street, across town, a thirty minute drive away, or at opposite ends of the country, we are all interconnected. With technology being what it is today, it is easy to stay in touch with people you have come to know along life’s journey.
