A gift of home made flan arrived at our door this afternoon from our very nice neighbor. She was thanking us for a nice deed that Martin did about 18 months ago. Her elderly husband was very ill with Alzheimers, and he often wondered off in our neighborhood (always in the middle of the night). Well, one time when Martin was arriving back home after playing music, he happened upon John, who was lost and wondering around. Martin recognized him and stopped the car, got out, and walked John home. His wife Tina was very grateful, as you can imagine. John died about a year ago, and we ran into her at Church a few weeks ago. She mentioned that she wanted to thank Martin and was going to bring by some flan (it's her specialty). We invited her in and chatted for quite some time tonight. She misses John terribly and it was so endearing to hear her stories. He was a very intelligent man -- a Harvard professor, and they traveled the world together. Ahhhh.....love......
