since the accident. A year ago me and Steve, and Tammy lost Benson in such a tragic way.:(
But when I look back at that year, i think I have surprised myself at how far I have come. I am at least alive, can walk, and have my new love. he will never fill the hole benson has left, but we are getting there!

It must be so difficult for you, especially at this 1 year anniversary :( It is good that you are seeing things positively and of course you will never forget Benson and the wonderful horse he was.

{{hugs}}
 
I remember the posts on here about your accident - can't believe it's a year. Having read your posts about you getting Donovan I hope you have a lovely summer with him after everything that has gone on in the past year :)
 
You do seem to be good at positive thinking, which must help.
It is (what's the word?..... amazing? devastating?) how life can change in an instant.
Do you know any more about what is happening to the driver?
All the best for the future with Donovan.
 
Driver appears at crown court on Friday, just to do paperwork, then he goes in front of Judge and Jury. Hopefully he will get what he deserves. What that is, I dont know.
 
oh bless you, don't really know what else to say...except Benson I am sure will be happy knowing that you are OK and happy with your new noble steed :)

Hoping that the driver gets what he deserves....will be thinking of you Friday...
 
I remember the first anniversary of losing my old boy, though thankfully I didn't lose him the tragic way you lost Benson.It was hard day even over the obvious! I couldn't get over the fact that a year had gone by without him, I remember spending most of the day sitting where he is buried chatting to him. I too was surprised just how much I moved on from that day when it is hard to imagine life will ever be 'normal' again.
 
I have not been brave enough to go to the site of the accident yet, I know I found it difficult being at the yard today, seeing his stable etc. But its also the realisation of me living with my back pain for a year as well. I think I am finding that just as hard, feeling that I should be better by now.
 
You've coped amazingly well across the year I think Benson. I won't forget the horror of reading what had happened, in a news story and then hearing that it was someone on the forum. Hope the court case is not too much of a painful reminder and that your back improves as time goes on pain-wise and hope Donovan gives you a year this coming year to remember with joy and pride :)
 
hasn't that gone quickly! well done you for being so positive about it all - and for being able to look back and see how far you've come.

it's ok to be sad and to remember it all, especially when you're so good at being positive and when you've got Donovan to help you! I'm sure the back pain will keep on improving given time, and your strength of mind will help you get through it. :)

I hope the court case goes the way it should and that it isn't too hard on you with the memories.
