Farming is a family thing for sure. For many reasons...it takes everyone on board to make the farming operation go...there's just something about teaching the next generation all about what the previous has taught and taking that and adding to it...it's really something to watch. I say that because I didn't grow up on a farm but I've watched my husband over the last 20 years and it's really something. And until recently I worked a full time job away from the farm so now I can see so many wonderful things.
I've missed so much because I was working full time The other day when I was helping my husband move tractors to the next field. He and his dad were talking about how the ground was working and what field to work next and so on and so forth. I just paused in my car for a moment and realized, what and amazing life! I then thought of my dad and how much he encouraged me to focus on the farm and my boys and I'm so thankful! I'm thankful that I listened to him while he was still here (even though he still talks to me often from the other side!) and I'm thankful that my husband loves me being out here and trying to help on the farm. Although I think I provide much humor for him and my big boys! But hey I'm trying and doing things I never thought I'd do and that's an accomplishment in itself. So thanks to my dad for pushing me to make big changes. I hope that I'm an example to my sons that you can do anything! I miss my dad everyday and somedays are harder than others but so thankful for the time I had with him. And you know I'll KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON!
