I Wish They Might

I was pulling down the curtain in Sienna’s room and getting her ready for bed. Looking out of the window, I saw a group of people outside the house across the street. Two cars parked on the tiled driveway. The house was put up for sale about 2 weeks now. Those must be the people who came to see it with their real estate agent.

Sienna and I both peeked out of the window. It was dark already. We couldn’t really see their faces. Most eye-catching were two kids around Sienna’s age running around. How nice if they can become our neighbors! I was about to go over there and helped out with the agent.

We only saw the man of the house once when he was rolled out on a stretch onto an ambulance. Later we learnt that he never came back from that hospital trip. I complain sometimes that we moved to this area to have neighbors yet so far we’ve found next to none. We could not even hear other people’s dog barking.

I understand things between neighbors could go wrong. They might want to have nothing to do with us... In fact, I don’t have to have anything to do with neighbors. Just nice for Sienna to grow up having neighbors like I did. It's an important part of the social relationship.

So my wish last night was that some kind of fairy Godmother could use a magic wand to help the family with two little kids fall in love with the house. Also please help them settle the finance if needed. The house price just keeps soaring, unreasonably.
