A while back, I posted a photo of my favorite school horse, Eddie. This morning I found out that after 27 years he is on his way out of this world. Since I have already written the best tribute to him that I could, I won't get sermon-y but I will say that he was a wonderful horse and it hurts me that I am not home to be with him, sit by him, and worry over him as I did when he colicked.
Eddie was a wonderful horse and though he has lived a long and I hope, happy life, it is still a hard loss to bear. As a longtime horse person and the daughter of a horse person, I am aware of the mortality of horses. Eventually, they will all leave us, some shorter than others, and some not in a way that we would choose. Still, at least in my years of experience, it doesn't get any easier.
