The Farmer

A brief note to say that The Farmer passed away
peacefully and gently in hospital this evening.   I shall miss him terribly but would not have wished him to be here any longer with this terrible disease.   Thank you to you all for your thoughts and prayers over the past few weeks.

    Oh, dear Pat, so sorry to hear it!! From what I have learned here the years you had were good years and the loss is painful. This really happened very fast, I hope and pray that you will have time to catch up and that you and the family can gather and seek comfort and support. God bless you!

    I wish I could find the words to comfort you but I don't know how to make the pain go away if only for a minute. Hold on to your memories in time the pain will leave a space for them and they are the comfort that is probably lost to you right now. My thoughts are with you, having walked that way I know how valuable it was to have the knowledge I was not alone.

    Oh, my dear Weaver! I am so very, very sorry. I had thought about you all morning (not yet knowing about this post) and how I wanted to thank you for keeping us included in this part of your life's journey. Over a period of I don't know how long you have let us participate in your trips to meeting your friends, in your observations of the nature around you, your 'drive-abouts' with the farmer and much, much more. We have laughed alongside you and pondered things alongside you. When you and the farmer got the terrible news you allowed us the knowledge of what was going on. We worried alongside you. We are now all grieving with you. You are right that long suffering is horrible. My thoughts are with you and I send you many blog-hugs during this difficult time. If it's o.k. with you please let us know how you are getting on in the time to come.

    Thank you for thinking about us when everything must seem upside down.
    Take care of yourself and allow others to help you at the moment.
    It's good that the farmer didn't have a long illness but the gap he'll leave is immense.
    Will be thinking about you. Sue

    The only words I can add is that two men from across the miles, that you've never met but consider you a dear friend, are wishing you well and sending thoughts and hugs to you. 1st Man and 2nd Man

    My business is words, but I have none that really do this justice. Just so, so sorry -- and yet, for as stout and wonderful as he always seemed in your posts, I am so glad that while you had time to say what was in your heart, he did not linger. My condolences and all good wishes for the days to come.

    My heart goes out to you in this very sad time. As you shared snippets of your life, it was plain that the Farmer was a grand person. The end was gentle and that is merciful. Know that my best wishes and prayers will remain with you.

    I was introduced to your blog from another, probably John Gray's. I was first sucked in because of the Border Terrier connection - I've owned two. Then I came to appreciate the quiet beauty of your life with the Farmer. My very best wishes for you during this difficult time. A reader in Philadelphia.

    Dear Weaver, I am so sorry to read this, but understand your wish that the Farmer not suffer more. It happened very fast and that gave you so little time to prepare yourself. My thoughts and prayers are with you. And they will continue to be. He was a lovely man as we knew him from your blog. Oh, I am so sorry. Be well, as well as you can be.
