Sundays at this farmish place are reserved for Scribbles -
short, random musings that collect while my mind has time to wander on
this day of (supposed) rest. Enjoy, and feel free to add your own in the
comments.
1. When I first went to write the title of today's post, I accidentally wrote Sunday Scrubbles. But Scrubbles kind of works because although it's a funny word, it proves I just can't write this week. My words are totally jumbled up and pointless.
2. A family friend was lost this past week in an accident. Noah was 22. He was an amazing person from an amazing family.
3. There are some deaths that make you sad. There are others that consume your brain. Noah's death was one of the latter.
4. I spent yesterday, away from home, thinking about Noah and his family. I came home to find one of our goats hanging in a hay feeder. Dead.
5. Life is so very unpredictable. Death is humbling. It's definitely been a Scrubbles kind of week.
I'm so sorry. We are praying for comfort and peace for you.
ReplyDeleteSaying a prayer for you, Noah and his family. Death at twenty-two is so hard to comprehend.
ReplyDeleteKeeping animals of any kind always involves losing one now and then but it's never, never easy to accept. What sad news to hear that you lost one of your goats. I'm so sorry. It's got to be especially hard on the boys, but a life's lesson all the same and I know you will handle it in the best way possible. So sorry.
Dreadful news, my condolences to all. Words are hardly ever enough so am keeping you and Noah's family in prayer.
ReplyDeletePrayers for that young man's family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your goat! That is very sad about Noah, his family is in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences,I worry so much about things that might happen to a family member.I too get consumed after a very close person's passing.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your losses! We've had our fair share of farm death lately, it can be hard to take. Especially when you are already mourning.
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read this post. I am praying for you and for the family of Noah. I am praying that your two little ones find the way to deal with the death of one of your goats. Its always harder for kids. I am so sorry. Stay strong sister!
Hugs,

So sorry to hear about Noah. Death is never easy to accept, but it seems SO much harder when the person lost is young. I hope your kids are able to deal with his loss well and that of the goat. I sometimes feel that farm kids handle death a little better than the average kid because they do see the circle on the farm...animals are born, live their life, die, another is born and so on. I hope they have learned this lesson already and are not too terribly distraught over the lost goat. Noah will be different, though, and I hope you all find peace with his passing in time.
ReplyDeleteUgh, young loss is a terrible one to go through. My thoughts are with you and your family as you deal with this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame to lose such a young man. And those hay feeders can be death traps - goats are so inqusitive. Hope you are all holding together - and that things get better for you all.
ReplyDeleteSending prayers your way. For comfort of Noah's friends and family. For your comfort and also for your peace. That you can find some peace to rest your mind and heart and be able to just breath. So sorry.
