I was glad my dad and grandfather had your perspective when I drove the tractor through the fence years ago. My aunt recently sent me pictures of where the farm used to be in Farmington. Everything is gone (except the old outhouse that use of was discontinued before I was born), including our house and Grandpa's house. It makes me realize that the barns, fences, tractors, houses, and even the cows aren't what's important. It's the people who lived in them and the lessons they learned. I'm glad my dad and grandpa know that I'm more important than a fence or tractor. I'm sure Brooklyn will be glad one day that her dad knows she is more important than a computer.Bruce Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268880142381591220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18330500.post-43270601090793629302008-11-09T19:43:00.000-06:002008-11-09T19:43:00.000-06:00Jason,I agree with your thoughtful, perceptive com...Jason,<BR/>I agree with your thoughtful, perceptive commentary. Nothing tangible we acquire or build in this life "lasts forever." Often the process of building teaches, and enlivens, us as much or more than the finished product does. The fact that a series of generations can work over time to create a functional castle (with few, if any, enduring blueprints or plans)is as remarkable as the finished monument. It is an act of faith to begin to build either a structure, or a friend.<BR/><BR/>Keep smiling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
