I just want to take a minute to brag on my amazingly beautiful and talented best friend, Breanna Tumminello! She showed up Saturday at the barrel race with yellow flowers and a beautiful picture of firewater that she had blown up and framed for me. No one else even thought to remotely do anything like that for me and I was completely shocked when she reached in her truck and slipped it to me kinda quietly and said I didnt want to make you cry but I got this for you. I didnt cry right then but she knows me well enough to know that I would be crying...and crying most likely a whole lot. I can with all confidence that no one understood how much I Ioved that horse quite like Breanna did nor did anyone else other than my husband know just how much I had been through with her over the past few months. She was there literally every step of the way to encourage me and help me. She was the only other person besides myself I have ever fully trusted to ride my horses and im so thankful that I was able to convince her to take her through the pattern a few weeks ago... If anyone knew how much I loved her and fought for her it was Breanna. If anyone could truly understand the reason WHY this was and still is such a devastating and difficult thing for me to deal with it is Breanna. No one else really knew how much I had been struggling not only with firewater but with barrel racing and horses in general. We often laughed and joked about all we had been through and how similar our situations were. We have both had our fair share of bad luck and we both have worked so hard for so long. I told her it was comforting knowing that i was not the only with an unending amount of terrible luck. We had both endured a lot and she knew I was about to a breaking point when finally firewater finally started coming back together. She was my glimmer of hope that kept me going when i really just wanted to give up say to heck with it all. So when the day came that I knew it was a possibility that we might lose her, Breanna was the very first person I called crying. Just like she always did she encouraged me and inspired me to hold out hope and I did up until the very end i fought hard for my girl...When I lost her she grieved with me . I called her nearly a hundred times for encouragement and every time she answered and knew just what to say. We joke around about being soul sisters but all jokes aside, I truly believe God crossed out paths for a reason. I just do not know what I would do without you, Bre. I love you, I respect you, i believe in you 100%. You mean the world to me. I hope I can be atleast a portion of the friend you have been to me!
