Where there’s a will, there’s a way. And if you know my mom, you know she’s got plenty of both!
I come from a family of people who don’t sit still very well. My Grandma Eva raised five kids who know how to move, love, laugh, and get things done with a sense of urgency. That determination was passed down to my mom, and she passed it on to me. I’m grateful for it.
Watching Mom find ways to keep working on the farm, even from her walker and wheelchair, has been pretty inspiring. She gets bored out of her mind sitting around, so naturally, she’s figured out how to keep herself involved.
It takes a little creativity and some help getting her where she needs to go, but we’ve made it work surprisingly well.
A broken leg might slow her down, but it certainly hasn’t stopped her.
