Good Morning,
Diane and Shannon are still here with us.
The house is very quiet. dogs are even subdued. It has been a very emotional weekend, but I trust to say one that will not be forgotten anytime soon. Though plans had to be changed or cancelled, everyone understood. A lifetime bond was created by the humans that were in attendance.
Life is precious and can be over in a whisper. I know that I have said this many times, but cherish each day with your loved ones, friends, and furbabies. I do feel drained, but it is not because of the activities with my extended family, but due to the loss of two very precious lives that came through our gates two years ago. I was their caretaker day and night, loving them as I love all the horses here, and the only thing I could do for them in the end was let them go peacefully. I felt helpless just as everyone else did, wanting to fix what was wrong, but we could not.
I am thankful to everyone that has been so supportive, to everyone that was here, you were a comfort to me and made a huge difference in the transition that transpired.
Thank you to everyone that sent emails and telephoned, it was truly a comfort for everyone here.
Stephanie
