365 days since I said goodbye to my heart horse.
In some ways, it seems like forever ago, and in others it seems like it was only yesterday. It has gotten easier. But, I still think about her every day...and I think it will be much the same for the rest of my life. Promise was my once in a lifetime horse. I think I will, eventually, want to welcome another horse into my heart, but for now, I am mostly focusing on myself, on paying some stuff off and on just riding.
Just as with last year, I have been seeing rainbows constantly for the last couple of weeks. I am sure this has to do with it being the it-rains-every-afternoon season here in Florida, but it always makes me smile (and get a little misty) because it makes me think of Promise.
So, today is going to be bittersweet. While it won't be quite as emotionally challenging as it was last year (when I had to get through 3/4 of the work day knowing what was coming)...it is still going to be difficult to not sink into my own thoughts.
You and she were meant for each other, that's true. And now the memories are wonderful and I can't even imagine you not having them. I bet you miss her.
ReplyDeleteI pray that you can be pleasantly warmed, and not saddened, from the thoughts of her soon.
