Ok i have photos of my beautiful baby all around me. I often talk to her, sometimes stroke her with a finger. I have locks of her mane and tail which I hold. sometimes i cry quiet tears when i smell her sometimes i just smile at my memories. But last night the swedes made me cry when shopping.I havent seen any since I said goodbye to baby and there they were sat in thier basket and the memories of sitting in her stable watching as she rolled it on her hay(clever Baby) preparing herself to attack it like a mouse on speed gnawing till she had a mouthful then standing munching her face bliss before the second attack came flooding back and i stood there transfixed on them damn swedes quietly sobbing in the middle of tescos. Now please this is not a sad tearful post - im actually smiling as writing for couple of reasons
1.what did the shoppers around think of a mad woman starring at swedes crying, her fella hugging her saying "a Baba moment". but still this mad woman cried at swedes
2. Its amazing how the simple things evoke the most powerful wonderful memories
3.oh dear i have the parsnips and turnips to face yet. shopping will turn me into emotional wreck :)
Wonderful memories :)
 
I can totally understand. When I lost my Dad I coped really well until a couple of years laterwhen I happened to see the Father's Day cards in Tesco. C a wet, blubbering breakdown.

And the irony is that he hated with a passion the notion of Fathers Day and said it was a tacky USimport to make the card companies money.. he would hav been furious if I had bought him one. But for that moment I wished I had faced his wrath and bought the biggest soppiest one ever.

At least it is only once a year and not for several months like root veg!!
 
U r a lovely lady .. And have a lot of love to give .. Always kind and supportive to other hho'ers .. Have u thought about helping out at a local rescue shelter ? Just and hour or two a week ?
 
I was same when my step father died. he also hated fathers day but i always go off some where nice and quiet sit with a bag of jelly babies(his fav) and leave some for him :) ive seen my first swede so ok there but i have turnips and parsnips yet. oh dear god. Carrot stretches? For a parsnip baby would have laid and rolled over like a dog. Tissues required when shopping i think :)
 
We all have emotional triggers within us that can cause reactions like yours, what a heartfelt post ((hugs)) Theyre so vivid when they take you by surprise like that and it can be overwhelming when the memory washes over you .
 
Can totally understand!! Sometimes it's those teeny trigger moments that only mean something to you that are the ones that floor you most. You must miss your girl very much, but such lovely memories :)
 
Thank you for youre lovely posts. i do miss her so so much she was my friend and my rock.and i have thought about helping at a sanctury or RDA and whilst there could only ever be1 baby i know another poor waif or stray will come along and say "help me" lol :)x x
 
Aww hun ((hugs))

totally know what you mean. The smallest things can set you off. I lost my mare last year, havent been showing properly since, took my new lad to his first show last week and put my jacket on, in the pocket was the last number from the show me and my mare did a week before she died and my pin that matched her browband :( cue serious meltdown, floods of tears and much needed hugs from a sympathetic friend lol xx
 
It was quite a moment lol.

Still miss my beautiful girl loads she to was my heart and my true solemate who pulled me through some difficult times over 9 years i owned her :(

My new lad is lovely and although he will never replace her i hope we will soon share a similar bond.

Is definately a good idea to get some horsey time hun they are great healers :)

i am sure any waif and stray which will come your way hun will have a fantastic home and be much loved xx

The first time we reused Goliaths field after he was put to slepp I was checking the perimeter fencing and put my food into a perfectly preserved hoof print of his (he was a walloping big Clydesdale) and I actually felt winded...I sobbed like a baby. Its so hard isnt it :(
