New Friend!

I have a new friend.  I met him at the mailbox.  As I walked up I quietly sang as I walked so he would hear me coming and not be scared when I walked up.  When he got his mail out he turned around and said "hello!"  I said hello back and then he began to tell me that he needed a friend.  He had just moved into the neighborhood and lives with his dad.  He told me his mom left him.  I told him that I had moved here just a year ago and I needed a friend too!  He stuck out his hand to shake and told me his name was Miles.  I think Miles is about 35 and he has Down's Syndrome.  I loved him instantly and hope that we will see a lot of each other.
