2022 Started out as the Year of changes for us. As I sit writing this it is July 6th and it continues to be a year of change. A year of spending a lot of money as well as a year of big changes in our home. Braxton decided right before Christmas to move to Floresville, Texas with Juan and Trish Gaytan. He went over there to work on a horse ranch and live with Juan, Trish and Brandyn. He ended up staying for 4 months total and we missed him so much but had the opportunity to talk on the phone to him often and we also went down to visit as a family.
We had a lot of preparations to do before he left. He needed to go to the dentist, eye doctor, buy some clothes, get some luggage, pack up his bedroom, and get all his affairs in order such as quit his job and figure out how to get there. In the end it was decided he would fly down and buy a car when he got there. Juan drove him back and forth to work for a while, but that got old fast so he bought a small Ford car that he used to commute back and forth each day.
Saying goodbye was awful. I cant really describe what this did to my mama heart except it was a heart wrenching experience knowing it was what was best for him but also realizing he would no longer be under my roof. He needed to spread his wings and learn to be on his own, but it was oh so hard. Love will do that to you, make you sad and happy at the same time.
On his second day there a horse slipped and he had to go to the instacare. It was just badly bruised, but it was quite the ordeal that got him on crutches for a week. Juan did a great job the entire time taking pictures and sending them to us. It was nice to see a picture into his world since he rarely takes photos and never sends them if he does.
