Our next door neighbour died this morning.. he was attacked by a bull.
I'd say "he was a really nice guy", but that's too easy.. So I'll say this.. Every summer he brought in our silage for us and spread fertiliser on our fields (we don't have a tractor) and we'd help him fix his roof after storms, help him herd his cattle.. We traded livestock, lent each other equipment.. etc. My parents knew him from when he was a little boy, watched him grow up and get married.
His wife now has the farm and two young kids... what can one possibly think or say or do in the face of such a tragedy..? I'm home alone right now.. just needed to tell somebody.
