Last Christmas

By Syd - 21/12/2012 16:00 - United States - Plano

Today, I looked at my neighbor's empty lawn; he's an old guy and he usually has the best Christmas lights. We knew he might not be able to do them this year, so I felt bad and I did them for him. Later, a neighbor asked about them and I told her that I helped out. She said, "You do know he died, right?" FML

Well, you were right when you figured he wouldn't be able to do them this year anyway...

That's the kind of thing you should have asked about before doing. You don't just mess around with other people's property without asking, nice thing or not.

I guess people think he should have known that his neighbor was dead.

Awe but you did a really wonderful thing. If he wasn't dead I'm sure he would have appreciated it very much!

That's such a lovely thing for you to do, OP. Even though he passed away, you've kind of proven that he left some kind of mark upon the neighbourhood by recreating his Christmas display. It's nice to know he left memories behind.
