Rusty Turner Editor, NWADG Our second grandchild was born in April. Under normal circumstances we would have gone to see him and the rest of the family immediately. But because of the pandemic, we all isolated for weeks before getting together. It was a long wait, but the visit was even more joyful when we finally got together. There were so many stories of people going out of their way to help others, it's difficult to pick just one. The one that comes to mind is this: A friend of ours is undergoing cancer treatments. The family posted a sign near their front door asking delivery people not to knock or ring the doorbell so our friend could rest. One delivery person whom our friends did not know left a note with a package offering to pray for our friend and the family. They struck up a supportive friendship during this difficult time. It was inspiring to see that people can still connect with compassion despite the pandemic restrictions.
