Sue went with me to feed this morning after we opened presents and before going to my mother’s house for a big breakfast and family.
As Sue and I pull up the corral to get the tractor out of the barn I could see one of the palomino horses on its side. It was my daughter’s mare Goldie. I petted her neck for just a minute and she was gone. We could see all over the corral where she had laid and rolled in the snow if only we had checked last night maybe we could have found her and walked it off. Our daughter got a new pair of chinks this year along with 3 horse books she out gowned but can still read( My Friend Flick, National Velvet and Black Beauty). Last year she got a head stall reigns and a bit.
Christmas has been a time of lost with my MIL dieing a couple days before Christmas 2 years ago and my grandmother dieing the day after Christmas when I was 6.
But there should be tears of joy too. That one would be born of a mortal mother and die for us that we may live again.
