Watching my father smile again reminded me that sometimes the greatest kindness is simply standing beside someone when they need support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My eighty-six-year-old father had paid a roofer $17,400, but six weeks later, his roof was still unfinished, construction materials covered his yard,\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47259,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
