Tragedy

Sorry for the lack of updates, but there is a good reason. We got a call from Mark (builder) on Monday morning to tell us that one of the young Amish workers who are so skillfully framing our house was killed over the weekend on his farm. He was only 14 years old.

Apparently, the family had recently obtained a new horse, and this young man was breaking him in. The horse threw him and dragged him; once he was able to free himself from the reins, the horse stepped on his chest. He was taken to (and actually released from) the hospital, but they did not realize the extent of his internal injuries, and he passed away the next morning.

Rest in peace!
