I burst into tears when I saw that picture. You just know it was their tradition once upon a time. Ugh my heart cannot!! What a sweet world we live in sometimes.

Me too!!! So sweet and sad and real. She must have been wonderful and would be happy that Doug is throwing this party with all of the neighbors. Bleh, now I can't stop crying.

I agree it was so damn sweet. I wish I was Doug’s neighbor.

I am sitting in my office trying to work and now I am fighting back tears. What a wonderful man and I hope the cops came and partied with Doug too.

I actually told myself "that doesn't mean anything, it's just a picture". Oh well. Doug's still got some life left in him and he seems to know how precious that is.
