He just texted me that he "finally got what he wanted, a 70 lbbull calf" from his best genetic combination yet of a bull and heifer, "but I amstupid and he is dead", meaning he is dumb and the bull died.
Then he sent another that said "guess God does punish your foryour sins sooner or later" and then "I won't let it happen again"
WTF.....I hate that he is hurting so much. I guess he thinks losing the potential "perfect calf" is punishment for what he has done to me, to us?
I just sent back that I knew how much the calf meant to him and I was so very sorry, that I didn't know why he felt he was stupid but that I was very sad he felt that way.
Not much else I can do. This is one of those times I would be there trying to hold him and comfort him and he would be tearing up everything in the barn in his frustration/disappointment. But he is there and I am here watching Star Wars (again!) with my kids...
