For those who don’t know, my father passed away in June. We were very very close and spent multiple days together every week, especially after my mother passed about 6 years ago. It’s been incredibly difficult these past few months. A few things happened the day he passed and it’s really mentally has taken a huge toll on me. 
This Fest was so nice because I was able to see my 2nd family and just enjoy the company and not have my mind wondering back to certain things. It really helped knowing those people are there for me no matter what. 
Then to show what kinda love and support I have from this awesome family. I opened my mailbox today to find this, that 
@BlackRose
@WldPenguin
@loaderXI
 
And Blackroses husband made for me 
Thank you all for this 
I sent it to my family members and they all loved it! 
 
It’s amazing the family bond we have here  
Thank you so much for this 🙏🙏🙏

Brew a couple gallons a week during the summer. Nothing like a cold glass of iced tea when it's hot out. Winter, not so much. It's just not the same as sun tea. Drink up, Diggler!
