How I’m leaving the Farm and my Ailing Dad

  • Pop’s in the hospital, but I’ve been scheduled as the Keynote speaker at Homesteaders of American for a year now. Dad told me to “Go. You’ve got to live my life. That’s what my dad told me (when he was dying).” This is what’s going on and here are some secrets for sourcing a great Farm sitter (so you don’t get burned out).
    Send My Dad a Card. His friends call him Boots ;)

    I think you all should write a children's book called "Where's Mr. Brown's Shoes?"

    Your dad knows he's made a good son and that gives him comfort as much as anything else.

    Praying for you and for your dad. This is so sweet. The footage of the kids on your lap while you are thinking about your dad is a tear jerker. I just lost my mom and a good friend last month. This is raw to watch but it's real life. That's what I love about your channel. It's real. Have a good trip. Finding Mr. Brown's shoes was an adorable clip.

    You have a great Dad Justin. I lost both my Dads at 50 and I am now 50. I don't plan on going anywhere, my son is 16 and he still needs his Dad around. I just had my second total hip replacement a week ago and they were 20 years on hold. I'm looking forward to the best maybe 50 years of my life. Your Dad must be so proud of you and your family. Thanks for sharing your lives.

    I am so happy that I cried. I know that you are all so thankful he is doing better. I was thinking last night, that it was so good that he lived to see you carry on with the farm and that the children might also. Please tell him that one old lady from North Florida sends him a hug and that I love him and all his family. Thank you Jesus for one more blessing. I would like to now that you did see this, because it is from my heart. Take care.

    My daughter uses post snap and we all love it. Too long to wait for pictures and time once she gets back from wherever and with this app, I get messages and pictures when she is thinking about me which is so cool. The girls look completely able to take care of things which I know is a relief. Tell your Dad thanks for sharing so much with us. He is a star for sure.

    I am scheduled to go to the Homesteader's Conference so looking forward to meeting people live I see on YOU TUBE. I was praying for you and your dad and wondering about your decision to leave and join us. We all do what we can. I appreciate your sharing of your life, difficult decisions and am not surprised your father encouraged you to go, Your parents prepared you for this moment as you prepared the girls and other farm sitter folks to leave the farm for your trip to the Conference. We all are stewards, leaving the animals, leaving the farm, knowing that you have made the best decision and we welcome you as you arrive and of course understand if you are called away. Thanks for all you do and sharing your journey and your family.
