I'm so sorry and your writing a graceful, lovely tribute to your farm family shows just how much you do care and care enough to give them good lives and good deaths. I lost a baby, we had to say goodbye to one of our three beloved dogs a few weeks ago and have a second with aggressive cancer. We (my husband and our two toddlers) just acquired three 5-day-old chicks who are living in our dining room at the moment, so it's busy. You are an inspiration and a good soul, and you give me hope. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself with us.
I came here by way of Jenna’s sharing your post, so I signed up, too! She’s right: what a sweet tribute. You’re giving me the inkling to write about our chickens on the farm 45 years ago, and the one who got away from the hatchet. For me, when I take in a deep breath of our west wind moistened by chicken droppings, buffalo, cow, and horse manure, wet corn silage, and rain, and I see white butterflies circling crazily over a puddle, I see us in that mad whirlwind of life chasing death chasing life. Great work, Emily!
