Hi guys - I’m sorry, I have been AWOL here for quite awhile. Everything is fine with Bob and I and the horses, although no more have been sold as yet. Winter’s here, cold and gloomy (have I mentioned I hate winter?)
Our next door neighbor was diagnosed with cancer a month ago. It was quite extensive then, kidney and lungs, now the bones and liver are involved also. He doesn’t have family here although we were finally able to get his two daughters up from California. He’s been in the VA for almost a week and a half now. It’s been a difficult time, most difficult I guess because no amount of wanting to will fix anything. Thankfully, he has a lot of friends so there is someone there daily visiting with him.
Have Faith, I’m so sorry about your dog, that’s a real bitch to deal with. The new one will eventually earn it’s own place in your heart.
MissTargets, how did your friend’s filly do at the World? I’ve not even looked to see what happened and who was competing there this year.
Hair, I promise I’ll get myself over to Baywind again soon, hopefully to contribute something worthwhile to all your effort there. You have done such an outstanding job :)
I think you have mentioned before that you don’t like winter :)
Very sorry to hear about your friend. :(
I’m sorry to hear about your neighbor. It’s always hard to be sick with no family around so I’m glad his friends have become his surrogate family. That’s so good of y’all to do that for him. You’ve had a lot to deal with this year with Lorie’s death and now this. Hang in there, and keep in touch.
I MISSED you! Sorry to hear why. You really have had a rough time lately with close friends. I know what you mean about feeling helpless. It’s the same when I have a patient I can’t fix, especially if I’ve been seeing them a long time.
Winter is rearing it’s ugly head here now, as well. Sat’s. high is 44 and wind chill in 20’s. I’m not ready for that yet.
I love your post on BW about your horse. He’s beautiful.
