Hello friends
After all the wonderful responses to my original post, I thought I would like to tell you how it went. I'm so proud of my sibs and myself, we all spoke from the heart and did so with respect and love. I tried to use the advice of being the first to go, but since im the baby of the family my oldest sister went first and then it was my turn, please endulge me as i tell my story again.
Several years ago, before my Dads alzhiemers became bad we where baling hay on our highest piece of ground (up on a hill) so we were changing kicker wagons on a fairly level spot. Well wr were talking and didnt block a wheel on the loaded wagon and.......you guessed it, away it went, rollong down the hill til it jack knifed and tipped over.
And this incident brought to mind something my grandfather said to my Dad and he told me "Son, I cant pull your load for you, but I can block the wheel". Of coarse at this point I started to get choked up, but I expressed that my Dad had done this for me several times in my life and I was forever grateful and I loved him very much
It came off better in the spoken word then is does me typing, but I hope you get the idea.
So thanks to all of you giving me the encouragement to get up and do this, and im so glad i did.
Chris

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
