You did a selfless job for others that you had risked your life. You still continue to help others through purple heart blueberry farming. This is a good choice because it will help your recovery since farming is grounding to our body and the blueberry fruits help repair worn out tissues..

Thanks for doing this to the vets.

watching FARMaid (far maid)…seen one william nelson with a vet/farm co cap…incredible individual…and google leading to this…seeing that you are a Burke, a vet; sumter flor…county…PTSD, as I am viet era (Potatoes, Tomatoes, Squash (and what a meal)…until you bite into that Dikon radish…all hell breaks loose…especially those that choose to remain unknowledge of this condition…

100%, and back here in NO MANS LAND, finding relatives with the name Burke…as in Burkeville Texas…that migration of traumatized natives from TRAIL of Tears…multi generational…and am most elated finding a younger vet not giving up, trying to make lemonaid….

as I tell so many, my blue heeler chases the cat…the cat chases the rooster…the rooster chases the hens…I steal the hens aigs that get laid…take them to the feed store, exchange for feed…thus the cycle begins again…what a circus…what a circus…freedom, only takes a chair under the oaks to enjoy this…stress free…raize them berries…such healing properties to touch the soil…our mother…

paying close attention to LOVING EYES,
(which shows this man and his grandmother)…
and The King and I….a tribute to a shared uncle, (WWII vet, PTSD…now I understand…)…who was photoed in 1949, standing talking to the king of Farm Aid….to share this uncle…priceless…

This is such an inspiring story. Adam and Michele: I pray that your love strengthens you and inspires you to do more. Love itself is healing, and I know it will nourish you into greater health.

(My mother was diagnosed with Type-C hepatitis, but when my sister had a baby girl, and that baby grew up under the same roof as my mother, the hepatitis disappeared. The “baby” is now ten, and the hepatitis is gone. Mama say, “It’s a miracle,” and I say, “Well, DUH.”

Good luck with the blueberries. If I ever get to your neck of the woods (swamp? shore? I lived in multiple parts of Florida and can’t keep it all straight), I will visit y’all.

Adam: I wish the circumstances had not existed that led you to make such an enormous sacrifice. Better things are in store for you and yours.
