To the Editor:
How truly blessed I am – more than that, truly doubly blessed!
People may think due to my physical situation, which includes multiple sclerosis (MS), diabetes and other various and sundry afflictions, I claim truly double blessedness.
I say this because I have two of the kindest, competent people assisting me in performing and accomplishing the tasks needed to sustain and continue whatever my lifestyle requires for my well being. These two angels are Dora Rodriguies and Hannah Thompson. The house cleaning, transporting me to stores, hospitals, doctors, clinics and any place I need and are required to visit, are done by them with the most pleasant of attitudes and care.
Most of all, Dora and Hannah and their children with whom I have become much attached, are the make-up of the best support group anyone could have. In the quiet confines of my apartment their participation in discussions about current events, philosophical ideas, health issues, and yes, even sports are the quintessential events of my life.
Yes, truly I am doubly blessed, who wouldn’t be.

Good Samaritans came to our rescue
To the Editor:
On Jan. 5, the first Saturday of the year 2013, in the parking lot in front of the Target store on Sycamore Road, we met a couple of good Samaritans.
With our shopping completed, we were ready to head home. Problem: our car wouldn’t start. With the temperature hovering at 32 degrees – a drizzle of rain and snow falling, bone-chilling winds increasing – the prospect for finding aid was not promising. Everywhere, everyone was hurrying toward the shelter of their cars. Nevertheless, when two people approached their car on our right, we asked for help. Without an instant’s hesitation they flew into action!
Determining that their cables would not reach our terminals, they stood, waiting patiently in that miserable weather until the driver on our left moved out and they were able to position their car closer to ours. It took several unsuccessful “tries” and then, finally we were up and running. With hurried hand shakes, a few hugs and encouraging smiles they sent us on our way.
We have lived in the Sycamore-DeKalb area all of our years. Thank you, Don and Anita Teague of Sycamore, for your kindness in reminding us of something we have known all along. What a privilege and special blessing it is to live a lifetime in a community of caring citizens. Thanks and Happy New Year.
