Neighbor RV Crushed by metal frame of barndominium in storm
Slowly thinking about this, this can always happen to us. Sometimes the risks are too much and then things go against our way. This was a very hard thing for me to look at and to glean lessons from. As we drove by (a couple of times) to take a look at our neighbor, fellow builder, fellow dreamer's damaged RV, partly crushed by the metal frame of the family's barndominium build - it felt heavy in our hearts. We felt this weight - me, my wife and my children. We all realized quietly, deeply, that this can happen to us too. All that work, destroyed and piled into a significant setback. More time and struggling just to get back to par, then so much more to get through to the other side.
We take on risks, we take on hard things. And sometimes we fail. On the other side of these challenges, there is much value. Much meaning. For those of us on this path, despite the challenges, we know it is worth it for the well being of our children-and also their children.
