On Saturday evening, I ran into a fellow farmer, that is friends with my father, he greeted me with a hug, ( for those of you, who know me personally, know Im not much of a hugger ) asked me about my family, I responded with great, as my entire family is healthy and happy. I then asked him about his family, he began to tell me about losing his son last year, that the day we were speaking was 1 year to the day from the funeral of his son. He told me how hard it to loose a child and about how his sons children are dealing with the lost, after telling me all that, he then told me how blessed they are with there love ones and how much he was looking forward to his grandchildren and his own children to come to his home on Sunday to celebrate a birthday. After speaking for 20 minutes or so, he gave me another hug, told me cherish my love ones and to keep his family in my prayers. I felt so fortunate to have run into him, yet another time, I realized how lucky I am to have the loving family I have. I then went about my evening and Sunday as if other weekend, however thinking about this man I spoke with, that greeted me with a hug and left me with hug, a man I only see once, maybe twice a year. Then this morning. ... When I went back to the farm after getting my kids moving, no school was slowing them down a little, my dad greeted me with extremely bad news, this man that greeted me with such love, who spoke of losing a son, had lost another son on Sunday afternoon, of a massive heart attack, I have been in shock ever since, I just cant imagine the pain and grief the entire family is feeling. All I can think now is I want to greet him with a hug. Please keep this farm family in your thoughts and prayers.
