Unwavering Support
Her neighbors were especially supportive of what had happened, offering to set up a food train to make sure she had something to eat while she recovered, so she didn’t have to cook. Lee Ann was especially bewildered by such generosity and felt a little guilty for being such a burden on people. However, no one saw it that way and she was affectionately reminded she had been attacked by a bear, after all. Above all else, she just felt grateful for everything. For being alive, for Smokey being okay, and for the love of her neighbors. Soon, she knew she would get to go home and reunite with Smokey again.
