On the 27th of April it will. Be 8 months with out my dad being in this earth with me. There are days where they are really hard but my kids keep me going. There are days where I get happy and then I get mad at my self for being happy. Becouse I wish my dad was still her working at the store with me every day. There are days I am still mad at God. There are days I don’t understand why God took my dad . Becouse I so want my kids to have had him more time wit him. I am happy for thr time they did. Have . But so sad that Aiden and very little time with him. Arianna had a few more years with him but not as much as I would have loved her to have. I don’t want to be bad at God all the time but sometimes it is very hard to not be made at him. I know all things happen for a reason. But it still hurts and I keep saying why did you take him so soon.
I kiss and love you Dad.
Doing the store with out you is so hard . But. I know. That the store must go on. Because. This is something. You and your Dad started for the town of Herrin.. so I am going to try my best to keep it going.
But it’s is not just me that keeps the the store. Going it is all the customers. That keep come back to the store all these years. The store would not be here today with out all the customers. That chose to shop local business all these years. So my plan is to work at the store as long as people keep shopping. At Harper Feed Mill.
May 2,2026 we will have a 20 month count down tell the store. Turns 70 !!!!!! On Dec 2,2027 !!!! We will have a small party Dec 2026. Then a party on Dec 2, 2027.
More info to come when times gets closer.
Thank you all for keeping the store going. In the last Ans I hope in the future as well
Thank you Haroer Feed Milll
