Just read a very moving poem on FB that was posted by one of my Aussie friends

A young farmer has taken his life as he couldn't feed his stock and provide a living for his young family.
We have had more rain here this winter and our farmers are struggling to feed their herds for the opposite reason.

Isn't life hard sometimes...years of hard work and then livelihoods lost just like that .
We shouldn't moan when little things go wrong.

Brenda.. sadly this happens more often than we realise.. even when I was at home in Sydney you would hear about this quite often but many went unreported.... :-(
