I'm just not doing very well today. The finality of it has really hit me. I've realized that he's never coming home. I'm never going to walk out the back door, pick an apple off the tree and feed it to him ever again. After thirteen years and bouncing back from dozens upon dozens of colicks, even surgery, he's really gone. My heart is

I wish I was allowed to go next week. I'm going to miss seeing you.

The reality of what has happened to me has kicked in, and it's rubbing off onto everything I see and read. I'm sure you've got tears to shed yet, but I'm probably shedding just as many reading this and looking at these pictures.

Hang in there. Many hugs and much love.

My heart is absolutely breaking for you. :( It's such a wrench to lose a pet, and especially one who was so much more than just a pet. It's like losing a friend or a family member. ::hugs::

Thank you for posting the pix of Trouble---such a handsome guy. His wooly bear picture is especially cute. :)

Even though I don't know you real well other than these sites we are both on, I want to let you know you are in my thoughts. Trouble sounds like he was a great horse, and I'm sure he knew how much he meant to you. He's probably practicing gymkhana games in a nice grassy field up above, waiting for you.

*hugs*

Oh! *hugs*
I loved looking through all the pictures... my heart is heavy as well now for realizing that lovely boy is no longer with us. But, by the looks of it, he loved you so dearly...and you gave him *so* much...
His portrait model looks *exactly* like him... though the intensity he gave in his performances could never be captured.
And what a sweet, kind face... It's going to be hard for you, I know. That face will never leave you...and though I know it's hard to swallow, he *will* be waiting for you someday...
Ah, now I'm crying too.
*hug*

Thank you sweetie, your words mean so incredibly much to me, I could never begin to think of a way to express what this comment made me feel. The fact that you enjoyed seeing his photos, and that the photos made you feel my pain, and that you expressed all of this to me... I'm so grateful. I'm beyond words. He was a very intense competitor, you're absolutely right about that. Did you know that he goes back to Seabiscuit? Two generations off his papers, on his sire's side. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch that movie again. He had so much heart, such a huge desire not only to win but more importantly to make me happy. Did you know that he saved my life two years ago? I'd love to tell you the story if you haven't already heard it. Some people might think I'm crazy, to give a horse as much credit as I do, but I firmly believe that he made a choice, and he chose what he did in order to protect me. He most definitely did love me, and he respected me. He always wanted me to be happy. I can only pray that we are right,

Neato! Sounds like a great idea. :)

Oh good, so you're on board? THANK YOU so much! I told Tiff it's nothing against her painting skills or anything, it's just that you two are very important to me and it would mean a whole lot to have you both have worked on the project. I'm going to bring Trouble's Leo portrait to BF and Tiff is going to take him home for working on JR. I think this is going to be awesome... just thinking about it cheers me up a little.

I was thinking of you ALL DAY today, at work. If that helps. I wish there were more to say... sending virtual hugs.

[honeyporkchop]

I was, too.
I have several friends suffering loss, right now, and I just don't know what to say, other than, Hang in there, remember the good times, I love ya, and am here if you need me.

[seadeckgo]

Thank you both. Your support means so very much to me.
