“Thank you to the many neighbors who responded to my request for lilacs today. I was moved by the generosity of so many, and feel blessed to live in such a wonderful community. I’m so grateful for Front Porch Forum as well. I don’t post very often but I read daily, and it helps me connect to the people and issues in our community. FPF serves as a wonderful reminder of the amazing thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity we are surrounded by… I started out mourning our old lilac trees and wishing we had our own trees now to supply a bouquet or two; but, honestly, I love that my daughter’s birthday celebration will be deepened not just by the beauty and fragrance of lilacs, but also by the kindness and compassion of the community she lives in. Thank you again!”
