It’s been awfully quiet over here for a long long time, too long. The last post goes back to January. But alot has happened the past 6 months … actually that much that I can say my life is a little shook up at the moment, and not only my life but the life of our whole family.
The trouble started with my father in law passing away unexpected about 2 months ago at age 51, just when An and me have bought us some land early this year and started building our own house. On top of that my brother in law, his only son, got really sick last month and it looks like he’s not going to get well really soon. With the situation like this and not about to change anytime soon I’m all of a sudden in charge of taking care of the cattle my father in law and his son held (10+ sheep, 3 cows and 3 bulls) and damn, a farmers life is hard if you’ve always been used to spend your life in front of a computer. To top things off when we started building our house we noticed the neighbors built their house 1m50 on our property so we can’t fit our house and carport next to each other. Arrrrgh!!!! But i’m happy that case is settled now and we can move on finishing our own place.
But I’ve got some good news too … I’m about to become dad for the first time!! God was that an unexpected shocker when An told me she was pregnant … of course the joy that her pregnancy brings was a little tempered when her father died all of a sudden. It’s a real shame our child will never get to know it’s grandfather, what a wonderful man he was.
Anyhow, i’m trying to pick up the pieces again and try to pull myself and our family through as well as I can and I hope that the few readers I have here will understand that this blog will possibly remain a little silent for the coming months until our child is to be born somewhere around the beginning of December.
