Tissue alert.
Disclaimer: how to sell our family farm to the only buyer, a company that had bought all the farms surrounding hours, Waste Management, after my 60-year-old computer programming dad was laid off and had to take the first job offer to make sure mom had health insurance.
Lupus finished its ugly rain months after she and Dad had to leave the farm, and we kids wondered what part lupus and played and how much was her having to leave the farm.
Farming IS a tough life. If I lost Beau I wouldn’t be able to manage this farm by myself.
I could always do what that neighbor lady did when her marriage ended but she wanted to keep her farm: hire a farmhand then fall in love, marry him, have two ADORABLE twin boys and live Happily Ever After. :)
That said, I am sorry for your loss and I’m still excited to see this movie. Farmers need all the help they can get these days.
