I hadn't said anything,but for the past few months,we'd had a woman here living with us who was dying of Lou Gehrigs disease. My wife had worked for several years as a home care and Hospice nurse,but hadn't been working since early spring. She had worked with this woman several years ago at the local hospital. Her husband was a teacher at the high school for over 30 years. It's a small town,and they needed help. She didn't want to go to a nursing home. My wife had been going to their house every morning for several months,getting her ready for the day,that kind of thing. She finally got so bad she had to have 24 hour care. We got a hospital bed and moved her in here.
What a devistating disease. For the last 3 weeks,she couldn't even suck water through a straw. My wife had to pour a little water in her mouth at least every hour. Very little though since she could barely swallow. The hardest part was just watching her waste away. I shot a cow a month ago that was in better shape than she was in,yet we had to just keep watching her die slowly. She finally,mercifully passed away Monday morning around 4am. The funeral was this morning. We sure miss her,but at least her suffering is over. There's no way to discribe the slow death associated with that disease. I'll just tell you,my deepest sympathy goes out to anybody else who has it.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
