Growing up on the farm allowed me to learn all sorts of lessons nearly daily. Lee owned the farm east of Dad's, raising sheep, corn, oats, and alfalfa to feed his animals. It was always fun to help him move the sheep, especially when the lambs were born. Maybe that's where I learned the enjoyment of hugging animals. One sorrowful day, Lee's wife passed away, temporarily ending the visits to his farm. A few months later, I went with my mom to Lee's to check on him as she had heard that Lee's Sister Lydia was moving in with him. Lydia was thrilled to see us, greeting me with a plate of homemade cookies. As a young lad, I knew this would be an adventure of a lifetime.
