Thank you all, so much, for your kind words and thoughts and emails and cards. It's overwhelming, and Matt and I have been moved to tears so many times reading through them in the past few days. Our emotions are pretty close to the surface right now, but really, we feel the love and appreciate it.
The right decision isn't always the easiest. I have trouble picturing the future, so I just try to stay in the present, which is when we fix up our home and equipment and sell it all off. Then we regroup and make the new plan, whatever it is. I know it will be a much smaller dream, and honestly simpler, and will include much more leisure time.
There are moments when it feels very easy. And then there are moments, like Christmas morning ice skating on our little irrigation pond with the kids, where it feels much more difficult. There is some doubt.
But, you know, we'll just work to keep a sense of humor and optimism, and focus on love, and it will all work out, just like it always has in the past.
We will also listen to Kenny Rogers' excellent advice. We held 'em for a long time, and it's time to fold 'em.

Del Heyman loved the "Gambler"....kinda like the way he lived his life. Not sure about his choices, but he did not waiver once he made up his mind! (plus he thought he looked like Kenny in later years....I kinda thought more like Willie Nelson)
I think Grandpa Del is a ringer for Kenny in the same way Pop looks like Groucho Marx. Uncanny, isn't it?
