Ten years ago today...

...I lost my beloved Mickey

Not a day passes when I don't think of him, even after all this time. I can still remember everything that happened the night he died; his last scream haunts me even now. Such a lot has happened since then, yet in some ways I still feel like the kid I was when he died in my arms.

It's funny how something so tragic can effectively shape your life. So many things have happened since that night that would never have occurred had he lived. You never forget something like that; I think only recently have I begun to appreciate just how deeply I was affected.

I've read a lot of other posts on here from people who have got similar sad anniversaries today; it seems 21st May is a bit of a difficult day for many of us xx

Hugs to you. Its always sad on the anniversay - it will be 8 years on bank holiday monday since I had my girlie pts. Somehow it seems worse to lose one at this time of year when spring is sprung and the countryside is at its most beautiful and they should be out enjoying the grass and the sun on their backs.

Absolutely. Mickey was on box rest when he died (although his death was unrelated to his lameness) and the very morning of the 21st, I'd taken him out for the most lovely walk. I remember him spinning in circles and bucking on the end of the lead rope in the yard - he was so eager to be out! Poor boy.
Hugs to you too x

Kenzo and Jenhunt - thank you xx

My thoughts are with you and strangely your post has just made me realise that today is also significant for me. My girl would have been 11 today but she died exactly 6 months ago on November 21st.
I can't believe i have lived 6 months like this, still with so many unanswered questions and regrets and you are definitely right that things like that affect us so deeply. My life is unrecognisable and her death was the catalyst for so much.
