The Deerborn house is across an open field, and Belle sits out on her back stoop each morning reading her Bible and also watching Mildred live and the people who come and go.\n\nOthers see Belle as living a confined and desperate life, but that's not true at all. Belle is becoming a great problem solver, is learning to manage herself more thoughtfully, and has a creative side that she is cultivating with her sewing projects.\n\nContrary to the reputation of caregiving, Belle Deerborn is anything but trapped, depressed, or hopeless. She has been surprised by the many evidences of God's very real help in time of trouble, and that very real help often comes from good neighbors.\n\nOne of those people is Mildred Budge, but she's not the only answer to Belle's prayers in this tender story about a long-time marriage and how it is coming to fulfilment and also, in a way, winding down. If you are a friend of Mildred Budge you will enjoy the company of Belle A Mildred Budge Friendship Story.\n\nAnd if you are the aging wife or husband of a spouse with a chronic physical problem, Belle’s story will remind you that you are not as alone as the circumstances around you appear to suggest.
