Rural life can be the best and sometimes the most heart wrenching thing.
I have experenced many of the types of things that this family has gone thru, and it brings a deep down pain inside to know just how they felt or feel because you have felt it. I commend this family for opening up their personal lives and sharing a very persnal part of there lives with others. But I was touched by the circumstances that you went through. I can't imagine life as a independent farmer. Your situation really brought to front and center to me.
