For the past 6 years, I have been taking care of my parents through their failing health, as well as the animal/farm duties, but now, both of my parents have passed away (my father, three years ago, and mother, just in Feb.), so we're getting our home set up so that we can welcome senior homes and special-needs groups and individuals here for on-site interactions, as well as to host parties, trail hikes, farm tours and various other options, which will be the culmination of all my dreams since we began! Shannon and I are forever thankful that we have been given the privilege of living life with Rojo, and the life-lessons he has taught us- unconditional love and acceptance for all, a calm and patient presence in highly stressful situations, not to run away when a comforting hug is needed, and unwavering trust in a higher power that knows what is best for us. Our wonderful llamas and alpacas, and the joy that they bring, are constant reminders of these qualities we hope to develop more of in our own lives.
