Our neighbour and good friend Lidia came over today to check if we needed anything and offering her help.
She is in self-isolation with her family, but luckily they are all perfectly healthy.
Lidia respected carefully social distancing when she arrived to our home.
She offered to help me with domestic tasks and she brought us a welcome gust of cheerfulness.
It was so nice to meet a friend after so many days.
Lidia is Portuguese; she didn't have an easy life, but she could always go through hard times with courage and sound pragmatism.
She knows how to remain always positive and able to see the good sides of life.
"Andar com um amigo no escuro é melhor que caminhar sozinho na luz."
That means
"Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light."
