@Casi Wentzel shared this and I just about needed a whole Kleenex box Please read on... We lost our big old man a few weeks ago & I wrote this trying to process our loss..... Go my beloved Great Horse, my soulmate, my best friend. The Great Stallion has called you to him. I hear it too, dearest one, the faint nickers...a whispered whinny in the wind... He has come to shepard you & blaze the path through starshine to lead you home. Thank you, Great Horse, for choosing me above all others that day, a tiny foal, alone & abandon. For sharing your giant gentle golden heart with me. For loving me unconditionally. For being there not only on my good days but the bad & horrible days too. For nuzzling the tears away in my saddest moments. For your warm breath & slobbery snorts in my ear that always make me laugh. For laying by side in the green grass watching the cloud pass overhead. For keeping all my secrets. For the countless years & thousands of miles. For your special way of greeting me every single day of our life together. For teaching me patience in all things. For making me laugh when I thought I would never laugh again. For finding me when I was a lost & lonely soul. For carrying me, figuratively and literally, through lifes hardest moments. But mostly thank you for loving my daughter & in turn teaching her how to love. 30 years together, I can not remember a time you were not by my side. To imagine a future with out your muzzle buried in my hair every morning, is too hard to fathom. But do not worry about me, Great Horse, go on and be free. I will miss you like no other but I am better because of you & my life that much sweeter. You took care of me & carried me for most of my life. You stood watch over me through the hardest times a human knows. There is no path I have walked that does not have your hoof prints beside me. You saved me time & time again....but your job is done, my faithful steed. I know you were waiting for another to come into our lives to take up your duties once you had gone. He is here now, I know you approve & he is ready for that responsibility. I will be ok, Great Horse, it is time for you to gallop the endless green pastures with all the other great horses that went before you. I can be brave Great Horse, I will face this world not alone but with memories of you to warm my heart. No, you are the first horse to come into my life or undoubtedly my last. You are not my only horse, but you are my one & only....my first love. I know how hard you fought to stay by my side. I know you would stay with me until the last ragged breath left your great body. But loving you means I can not let you suffer as you are. You gave me life, so now I will give you peace. I will be strong, Great Horse & carry you now as you & your strength have always carried me. Sit with me Great Horse under the big oak tree, my arms wrapped around your neck, I will hold your head in my lap, pressed against my breaking heart, as the sun sets on our final day together & the dark sweet oblivion sets in. Whispering into those fuzzy ears how much I love you. Close your eyes & sleep. No more pain Great Horse, except that my soul breaking in two. And when my parents meet you at the pearly gates, Mamma with endless buckets of apples & Daddy with a golden lead, love them, Great Horse, the way you have always love me. And if youre in angelic duties, you see a lonely little abandon horse with with no little girl to love, please send him by way of my daughter, so as she might share her heart with great horse. Goodbye, Great Horse, Let er buck. I will be at the gates one day soon enough where I know you will be waiting to carry me unto eternity.
