Feeling down today! It started yesterday when I went over to my parents' farm. Currently my dad had 4 cows. He's 82 and really having a hard time to do anything anymore. It's very hard to watch a once very active determined man that now doesn't do much and doesn't want to do much. Anyway, his milk cow had a calf 3 weeks ago. And my dad has decided to sell the cow because she gives too much milk (roughly 70 litres a day) and the milk is just being thrown out. So last night was the last night that me and my 5 year old son got to see her as she and her calf go to the sale barn today. She is a sweet cow that we named Daisy. I'm upset that she is going for 2 reasons. One being that it's the end of my dad milking cows and he's giving it up and two being that this cow was very sweet. I know that she'll go into a dairy herd and be ok but she won't be with us anymore. I guess I'm feeling selfish and I just want things to stay the same and not change.
Like I said I was upset last night and turn to chips. So my eating wasn't good last night. And I'm upset today but I hope that I can stay on track to eating better. I definitely need to get out at lunchtime and get a good run in.
Thanks for listening buddies!

How you feel is totally understandable. Eighty-two years is a long time to be working so hard, he deserves to rest. I don't think it's selfish to want everything to stay the same, especially when that is how it was probably as long as you can remember. I do terribly with change. I'm sorry you will be missing daisy, it's hard letting good of old friends. A run might be just what you need to help you sort out your thoughts/feelings. You will be in my thoughts :)

Change is very hard and it's hard to see our parents slowing down. Hopefully it will help your dad slow down and have a little more energy to have one less responsibility. I hope you got your run in and it did help you feel better.

I hear ya! My Dad is 88 and he and my Mom came to see me for a few weeks this spring. It's very difficult to see your once active and vital parents change before your eyes. I feel for you...
