I am so sorry, you did your very best for him.
Thanks all so much. Yesterday was a very bad day - I couldn't eat, and I certainly couldn't sleep, but dad is going to go and deal with the knackerman for me today and then I'm going to go and tidy out his things. Being busy is key
My lovely friend has a stable full of horses and is going to take his feed/hay etc, and has offered to take me out riding today - and we all know horses are the most sympathetic creatures, so I'm looking forward to that.
I'm not going to be able to afford another horse any time soon, as many of you will know how much I struggled with money with Geoff, but my mum made a lovely suggestion yesterday: I'm going to get a puppy. Something to keep me busy but won't feel like a replacement, and won't be as much of a strain on my finances.
I also finish up my Masters in 2017, and had been considering going abroad for my PhD - I was going to go to Europe because I could take Geoff with me, but Dad pointed out that I can now apply for the States, where the most research in my field is (funnily enough, equine muscle myopathies, now in memory of Geoff). So I'm trying to find some good things to think about.
Thank you all so much for the sympathy - it really does help to hear horsy people who know how you feel and know Geoff. So thank you all x
