Last Time for Everything

There will come a time with everything you do that you will do it for the last time.

Play high school football, show a market pig for FFA, hold your grandmothers hand....there is a last time for everything.  Most of us don't get to realize it until its upon us or too late, for us it was our last stock show.

I grew up in FFA/4H and showing livestock to say I have a passion for it is an understatement. My children grew up showing as well, but last Saturday my middle child walked into the ring one last time.

Honestly the decision to quit showing was hers and one we should have made a year ago. I couldn't let her just let it all go so quickly, I mean why don't she love this as much as I do?

She has moved on to bigger and better things, so one thing had to go. Livestock

This past weekend made me realize that we should have made that decision a year ago.

Sigh...so for now I must sell the trailer, show supplies, put away memories/ribbons/trophies and move on.

LOL Guess my 4H Mom sticker needs to be replaced too
