The old guy next door kept a dollhouse in his window for 2 years straight

I moved into this place about 3 years ago and my neighbor Jerry had this creepy Victorian dollhouse right in his front window. I thought it was just some weird decoration or maybe he had grandkids, you know? But after a year I noticed the lights inside would turn on and off at random hours, like 3 AM or 4 in the afternoon. One night I couldn't sleep around 2 in the morning and I saw him out there with a tiny flashlight moving furniture around inside it. I finally asked him about it last week at the mailbox and he said it's a memorial for his wife who passed 4 years ago, and he changes the little scenes to match things they did together. He even has a tiny model of their first car in the driveway of the dollhouse. It went from creepy to sad real fast, but now I can't stop watching to see what scene he sets up next. Has anyone else had a neighbor with a weird tribute like that?

Wait until you see the day he adds a tiny moving truck, that'll be the real gut punch.

Wonder if he'll add a U-Haul to that specific piece next.
