Manage episode 498780818 series 3651039
Family connections remain vital despite our busy lives, especially as older generations age and health challenges arise for loved ones.
• Summer is flying by, with county fairs marking the end of the season and family reunions filling our calendars
• Both hosts come from large farming families – with 15-16 siblings in their parents' generations
• Only a small fraction of family members still farm compared to previous generations
• Agriculture in the US is economically larger than the S&P 500 despite farmers being a small minority
• Family support becomes most apparent during hardships like injuries or illness
• Pride and ego often prevent reconnecting with family members after disagreements
• Expressing love through hugs or words can feel uncomfortable but is always worthwhile
• Time moves quickly, making it important to prioritize family connections while you can
