Hi, everyone.
First, I want to apologize for worrying everyone at my abrupt departure. The news of Joe's passing really hit me hard and I know it did to alot of you as well, especially his family. I did not mean to be so dramatic but when I get in a certain frame of mind, I dont make rash decissions or think clearly. So Im sorry for just cutting people out like that.
I dont know why I reacted that way still, but even now just typing this Im tearing up.
I have tried coming on and reading posts. At first even doing that made me cry reading anything about Joe. Knowing he is gone and there will be no more posts about his day, his wit and humor, his stories about his beloved goats, is still unbelievable.
There is no excuse for my behavior or my shortness with some members who reached out making sure I was ok. Thank you for caring and giving me the space.
I could go on but its hard to explain alot of things.
The reason I came on to post tonight is to let everyone know it looks like my Dad may not be with us much longer. He is in hospice care right now. My Mom doesnt think he will make it thru next week. They put him on pain meds because the hospice nurse says hes in pain even tho he says hes not. His kidneys are shutting down and hes barely eating. They brought in a hospital bed because Mom cant get him in and out of bed anymore.
So first we all lose a dear, respected, and loved member of our herd, and now my Dad may pass soon.
Again, Im sorry for any worry, concern, hurt feelings I caused to members who just wanted to make sure I was ok.
I may not be posting much obviously now for a whole another reason.
