Progress.

I feel like we have been making progress with our neighbors across the way. Finally the mom of the little girl has been a little more open to us. At least responding with a hello when we say hi or even returning a smile. Her little girl is still sure to obey the rule of not coming into our home. But today she ran up to me and gave me a hug. I was definitely thrown off guard, but boy did it make my heart smile.
We have had a busy and some what frustrating day, but that hug was a reminder of why we are here. And that those frustrations are just a grain of salt.

That hug made my week.
