Thanks. It was the meds that did his body in! He would have been 62, his calling hrs were on his birthday.
I miss him so.
I have my animals cuz of him, I think God and Dad knew they would help me heal!
My Dad wanted me to get ducks and geese,but I was like the goat are enough!Well this goose (wild) showed up at my house, so I told Dad if it didn't come from the neighbor I would let it stay, it did come from the neighbors, her brother hit it with his jet ski and felt so bad, he brought it home to help it heal, so he released it on her pond. After a few days it left with a flock that fly in!
So the neighbors tried some ducks, and caught 3, from a farmers yard, something got to them and they fled, one waddled to my house, and the other 2 were never found.
Neighbor never had animals, other than dogs, so she said I could keep the duck! We named him Paddle. He was lonely so we went to find him a friend or 2, we ended up bringing home 5 ducks and six cochin chicks!
My Dad was so excited he tried to get better to come and see them, but he never made it out of the hospital, he did get to enjoy pics though! My Dad was so pleased.
I believe that God sent me that duck.
He waddled to my house in the middle of the night at just the right time, my son had just pulled in from a date, and the cat was getting ready to pounce!
We have raised his off spring, and use the meat, another thing that would have made Dad proud. We garden and can food, he was so excited I was learning these things.
I think of him daily when I feed and play with the animals, I feel him there with me.
Thanks for letting me share, I was having a sad day.
I sent prayers your way, and if your hands start to feel numb mention CIDP to rule it out!
Take care
