Today was a bad day around here, the flock is fine, although something is trying to break into the night time chicken run(in a building) been smelling skunks a lot, and DH2B saw a possum maybe one or two weeks back. Haven't seen a coon maybe a half mile away across a field but its happening later than ten or even twelve. Any ideas? Thankfully we have had a board up but we have found the latch undone and or almost undone almost every day. At the very least it's flipped up daily. Kinda worried about the flock I know the run is sound but I really dont want to risk an animal massacre either.
Anyway back to why today was a bad day. If you could all please keep my family and my Grandpa in your prayers. Today it was decided that Tuesday my Grandpa will be going to live in an Alzheimer's care home and we are not taking it well. It's a local place and seems like a good one, but my great grandfather died shortly after being admitted to a similar but nicer place. My mother is a nurse and her and I lived with my grandparents for over three years to try and keep him at home, as she made him that promise when he was horrified after being diagnosed with the horrible disease. However it has become clear that it is no longer safe for him to live at home despite the many safety measures we implemented. He is also to the point that he frequently doesn't recognize even my Grandma and most of the time doesn't know where he is. My Grandpa is like a father to me as my own has fallen horribly short. Please pray for my mother's, grandmother's, and family's peace during this awful time, and please pray that we can salvage this Christmas in spite of how bleak things feel today. Thank you guys.
