December 5 – Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why?
What or whom did I let go of this year and why? I let go of Wilbur my pet pig. I wish I hadn't really but he became so big and rather demanding and he could serve no purpose. I wanted him to serve a purpose (quite literally) and if he had served the sows he would have had a long and happy life. We all loved him but he couldn't do the job and I couldn't keep him for nothing because farm animals are not pets. Spence said once (about 'Mother') "She is a pig, not a pet" and I thought at the time how true that was. Still I miss Wilbur.
