My next door neighbor and someone, over 2 years, I grew to love more than anyone I've ever known. Jim Bo...I miss him more than words can say.
I moved to where I currently live and 3 days later, i was ill. Never getting to know my neighbors or anyone..Just Jim. He gave me sage advice he looked over me and protected me. He saw my strength and let me do as I was and stepped in when he saw I wasn't 'gettin it done' and gently assisted. When I was sick, even before I knew him, he was here doing some emergency plumbing and other things.
Most of all, he was such a compassionate, kind and happy person. He is the guy that would stop at the roadside and help stranded motorists.
I thought my garden didn't grow weeds. After I had been here a few months and remained inside and just leaving for supplies, when I was able. I looked out my kitchen window one morning at 6:30A.M.--My little dog was acting funny, there Jim was, pulling the weeds out of my flower beds. Which turned into a full time gardener, errand runner and taking me to appointments, etc.
The night my car broke down, the next morning he was at my front door with the keys to his car and it was in my driveway. He managed to take care of my needs, when I was so sick and unable or even too sick to care.
Jan 2, was his birthday, I found out on the first; Another neighbor and I used the clubhouse for a last minute surprise birthday party for him on the 4th. A last minute party that over 35 of his friends and neighbors attended, at the last minute. Many changed their week-end plans, just to be there, for Jim. He was 64 and far too young to leave us.
I have lost my parents, best friends and 2 brothers; nothing was as painful as this. I miss Jim and I lost a saint, yesterday.
He was the first person I was able to utter the words of, "I have M.S." to. He sadly responded,
"I lost my brother to that at the age of 47." From that day on, Jim took care of me and made sure he showed how happy he was, to be able to.
