88 years of haying, dust, and hoghouses have taken their toll on my grandfather. He was in and out of the hospital last week and is going back today, so I'm leaving now to go to the farm.
He was diagnosed with COPD a few years ago, makes it hard to breathe. Hoping this isn't the end for him. So very hard seeing him like this, the strongest, hardest working man I've ever known.
We've always been close, but once I found this forum and rekindled my love for tractors and bought one for myself, we've become even closer, spending a lot of time on the phone getting advice. I made extra trips out their to get parts from his old tractors, he came out here to help be split the H and pull the engine. And just hauled my completed H project out last fall for him to see. Boy was he proud, as I didn't really know what I was doing most of the time, relying you guys here for help and advice.
Working on his C still now. Would really like to get that done for him to see. Was hoping to start on the old F-20 next, but that may now be something an uncle and I do. It was grandad's first tractor.
This will be the hardest drive I've ever made home. Tears already coming.
Appreciate all the help many of you have given me over the past few years. Prayers appreciated.
