Giving meaning to loss

I did something very difficult last night: I went to the Horsemasters meeting and talked about Isis’ death to a group of people who understand what it is like to lose a horse. I wanted to warn people about EPM and tell them that there is a new treatment available and that it made a world of difference for Isis. And some times, unfortunately, it can be too late, too, but it was still worth every penny to see Isis have such a good last week.

I’m going to the barn today for the first time since Isis passed. I finally started to cry today, to let go of the grief. I know I’ll see her every where out there. But I’ll be able to smile, finally, at her antics.

    Delightful Days

    Last night, at a sparkly 4:00 AM in the morning, my toilet decided it wasn’t going to flush. The water backed up from under the rim and the base of the toilet. Mopped all of that up and was too frazzled to go to bed. Figured I would write a blog post about it. SQL…

    The house is seeing a lot of activity this week. Two more viewings today. One was scheduled for last night, but cancelled. I added pictures to the gallery (click Photography at the top of the page) if you want to see what the house looks like. I finally finished doing that last night. Now that…
