The foundation of our farm is family. Not only in that Charis and I are sisters, but also within and throughout the web of support that brought us together and keeps us moving ahead. Our individual families and huge extension of friends are our biggest and best cheerleaders, our listeners, our visitors, our foundation.
This past week we have been wading through sadness and tentative fear for Nathan and Barbara, our brother and sister inlaw. Barbara's dad became suddenly and gravely ill last weekend and now they are by his side at the hospital, unsure of the future for their own family. Barbara set up a blog to share updates on Dwight's status and through that communication started hundreds of miles away, I have been able to witness the waves of concern reverberating among a giant web of support. As a part of that community and family, I am humbled and deeply grateful for this gift.
Thanks for your concern, thoughts, prayers for Nathan & Barbara's family. A candle has been lit for their peace and hope.

was very sad to hear about barbara's dad. we can only hope for a miracle that his health improves.
I've been following the blog this week and praying daily for God's healing hands to bring Dwight back to his family, immediate and extended.
Thinking of your family during this difficult time--healing, hope, and support for everyone in Dwight's circle.
