I went from home to visit our neighbor and talk to the kids.
Is there a reason behind it?
I heard that one kid is dying of cancer.
It's good to show compassion to someone who is sick. That shows your neighbor that you are a good person, or at least a caring one.
I'm glad you think so.
I'm sure your neighbor and his kids thought so as well.  Even though there is little you can do to help someone with cancer, you can at least make their life a little easier by showing support.  Perhaps you could even help out around the house, if needed.
