My   gift 36 was to make small fruit baskets and leave them on each of my neighbors’ front gate the night of Christmas Eve for them to find. I  37 the cards: “Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”

I saved the friendly lady for last, since I was still not exactly 38 where she lived. I  39 decided upon a house nearby where I  40 her each morning and felt relatively sure that it was hers.

This morning I noticed a small  41 inside the mailbox. It was addressed simply — Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road. I opened the  42 and took out a Thank You card.

I hate that the lady did not  52 a fruit basket from me, but I believe that  53 she knew what had happened, she would not have had the outcome any other way.

I feel blessed to have made Richard Kelly’s last days more  54 . This just further strengthen my belief that there are never any  55 in life.
