Dear Diary
My girl is gone.
My beautiful fit mare was put to sleep on Christmas Eve, after a hard fought battle to save her following a kick in the field. She was only 3 years older than me, life is so very very unfair.
My mum and Dad were there with her and her mum managed to get home from her overseas posting to say good bye.
I am lost without her. This is for you, my beautiful girl:

“Sleep tight my girl, in peace now rest
In loving you, I’ve loved the best
Your talent outshone others, outshone mine
You'll be in my heart for the rest of time.

If I close my eyes I see you still
And in my heart I always will
Your little socks and blaze so white
Coat shining like silk, dark as night
The most gorgeous legs I’ve ever seen
Going on for forever, long and lean.

Now I am heartbroken and left alone
Knowing the fields together we’ll no longer roam
It seems to me you were only on loan
And God decided he wanted his angel home
I think your light too brightly shone
Now your time on earth with us is done.
But I know when I look up tonight
You’ll be the star that shines so bright

Forever in my heart and in my mind
Ageless you are now, til the end of time
Be at peace now girl, running free
And when my time comes, return for me.”


In loving memory of Minnie “Moo” Marshall
A stunning, amazingly talented girl who’s light was extinguished 24th December 2009.
Sleep tight Mooey.
 
Aww, I'm sorry she didn't recover

Just goes to show how fragile they are.
 
RIP fit mare... that poem is beautiful and has brought floods of tears to my eyes.

Such a shame such a talent was lost. hugs for your loss - I know no words can make it easier for you or her mum - but she will be watching over you and live on in your memories.

Tons of hugs, love and thoughts

Dear Hovis

I feel your pain. For I lost my mummy the week before christmas.

Her Mum did everything she could. Fought every battle. But my beautiful mum fell asleep and never woke up.

They let me say goodbye, and I kissed my beautiful Mummy's face one last time before they took her away.

It's never fair, it's never their time. But I am sure my Mummy and your girl both knew they were loved.
