Smelling the Roses at a Funeral

[LEP]

Life is very unfair, and just when you think it can’t get worse it does.
6 years ago I lost my Mother and a Child within 2 months of each other. I was 32 years old.
4 years ago I lost my father. I was 36 years old and no parents left.
3 years ago lost my mother in law.
2 years ago I lost my last grandparent.(One of the most important people in my life)
Weird thing is my kids only have one grandparent left at the ages of 6-8.
And my wife is now 40 and she has all her grandparents left.
A lot of times I think I have made it through all this and I’am turning the corner. And then “Bang” all the life is sucked out of you and its a struggle to get through a day.
A guy often wonders “Why Me”
I made the decision the scale back my operation and enjoy family time. Minimal stress and already feeling much better with all the uncertainty in farming going forward. And farming in North Central Sask isn’t easy a lot of the time.

Wow. Everyone has their own burdens to bear, but sometimes if you look around, you realize there are many enduring worse.

My sympathies Farmersmuck losing loved ones is difficult.

Hopefully in time you can recall memories you had together that can help ease the pain.
