Dear Joe,
It hasn’t been long since you left me. I miss you so much and I think about you often. Not a minute goes by that I do not think about you. You were such a wonderful horse, so compassionate and forgiving. You never put up a fuss when I wanted to ride even if you did not feel
like carrying me around.
People have said I spoiled you too much, but you deserved it. And you deserved to not be in pain anymore. I miss everything about you. I miss the way you nickered at me when I came into the barn, the way you smelled like hay, and how you would beg for peppermints. You were always so smart that you could stick your nose into my pocket and
pull out a carrot.
Remember riding in the snow that day and the snowflakes were tickling your nose, you hated it. I am sure but you never put up a fuss. You were so fickle like that but I loved you for it. I realized that you were unique the minute I saw you. Now you are free, free of pain to enjoy the big green pasture in the sky with all your friends that have been waiting for you. They will take care of you. I am not worried. I will always love you Joe, and you will always be in my heart. I will never forget the joy, and sometimes the pain, that you brought
to my life.
I would go back and do it all again if I could. Never forget our good times and the bad and know that I will always love and miss you. You are the best thing that
has ever happened to me.
Love Always,
| Joe |
