Thank you ever so much for keeping up with my life and recovery. Me - better & better - slow but steady. Big time in life and everything happening. Thank you very much for everything you've done. Through the whole deal, we decided we're leaving the farm. Where we go, no idea what is going on. We'll see. -Matt
Matt wanted to tell me what to write on this post. I tried to keep it just like he said it so you can see how he is communicating, but sometimes he wants a little help. I was thrilled he was even interested in trying. This was all he could explain right now and wanted me to take over on the farm story.
Our plans for this farm were centered on his skills as a forester, a climber, and a tree worker. As great as he is doing, we don't know that he will get back to everything he was before so it is hard to re-work ideas for this farm and figure out how we can still take it over by the end of this year. We decided it was time to step back, take more time to regroup, continue healing, and re figure what kind of farm we can run someday with his 'new' skills. This was an amazing place for Matt to be and heal and to dream about the future, but it has become too hard to be here and watch what he can't be doing. It will be so difficult to walk away from this farm (we think sometime this winter), but it is what needs to happen at this point.

ReplyDeleteMatt and Keri--
ReplyDeleteWe tried several time to respond to last post--don't know what we were doing wrong. Hope using Dave and Lin's computer will help.
We remember big decisions and how it felt to make them and, from the outside, believe and hope that this is a good decision for you. You are the best!
Jim and Karen
