I didn't grieve, I bottled up my sadness and a few years later it hit me hard. It sounds like Ed is taking wonderful care of you at this difficult time.<br />Sending a million hugs from Canada. <3!KateRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870548960430847612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-77124785560817486472014-12-27T21:32:01.739-04:002014-12-27T21:32:01.739-04:00thank you. thank you.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was blessed enough to have a "Steele" of my own once. What I did not get the chance to share was that, some years after his death, I dreamt of he and I one night and relived one of the best rides we ever had...so real I could feel him between my knees, could hear the drumbeat of his hooves, had that unspoken conversation that runs between the minds of a special horse/human partnership, could smell the warm, wonderful scent that was so uniquely his...when I woke, my pillow was soaked with tears, but I found my boy alive and well in my heart that day, and he has remained there ever since. I hope, and believe, Steele will return to you in a similar way. And while it will not make things right, it may allow you to slowly move forward and regain your joy in these marvelous, magnificent animals. I sure hope so.

It is hard and the pain will lessen with time but you will never forget your special boy.<br /><br />Please ignore the cruel people who don't even know you. I have no idea why people feel the need to add to your grief.

I'm so sorry that there are cruel people in this world and that they are trying to hurt you, but I'm glad you're ignoring them and keeping on keeping on. I can't wait to see the painting of Steele. I still think about you guys constantly. I really hope you had a great Christmas with family and friends to comfort you. *hugs*Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.com
