These days, life may be very demanding and difficult. For their mental health, everyone should be able to ask for help when they need it. That’s just what a woman chose to do.

She begged her neighbor for assistance, and she never anticipated receiving a letter in response. Continue to read and learn more.

Because she had to leave on a trip, a woman required pet care. She wanted someone to take care of her three dogs: Smokey, Oreo, and Jennifer. Setting up care for one dog is usually not too difficult, but organizing care for three dogs is a whole other story.

Surprisingly, her retired neighbor consented to aid her while she was in dire need of it!

When she returned from her trip, someone had slipped an envelope under her door. She later posted the message on Reddit, expressing her amazement at what she discovered inside the envelope.

The letter was short and to the point. It began with wishing her a good afternoon. “This letter is about your vacation two weeks ago and how you let me babysit Smokey, Oreo, and Jennifer.” The message finally made its point. It started, “I just wanted to write you a letter of gratitude.”

“You recognize my advanced age.” I’m not as visible outside as I once was, since these places aren’t as bustling as they once were. Furthermore, my dad received a stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis two years ago, coinciding with the pandemic. After his passing, I found myself living alone in my house. I don’t have a spouse or children. One day, I might go to sleep and never wake up. Every day, I just sit around wondering what I have accomplished for this world.

That is, until I met Jennifer, Oreo, and Smokey.

Your furry friends are the prettiest, funniest, and most annoying people I’ve ever met (don’t worry, they didn’t trash my house too much!). They inspired me to start my life over again. I began waking up early every morning. For the first time in years, I started going for walks outside with your pets. Every ten minutes, they’d chuckle at my temporary sadness by rubbing on my leg or barking.

I took them to the park, and that was the highlight of their visit. I hadn’t spent so much time outside in a long time. Not only did it help me reconnect with my pets, but I also made friends with a few other people and met new ones. Communicating with others, talking to friends, and feeling like a member of the human race made me very happy again.

I know I seem existential right now, but I’m being honest. Knowing that I’m helping someone, even if it’s only my neighbor, makes me happy.

Soon after, I adopted two dogs. I apologize for any noise you may have heard coming from my house. On a regular basis, I walk them to the park and chat with new acquaintances I’ve made there. In any case, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate it. You once again gave my life purpose. And that is all that matters.

Regards,

Robert (P.S. I think it’s amusing to mow the lawn!)
