A Final Farewell

[brianwspencer]

Thanks for posting this MMSC.

After most of the year to think about it -- Dictina Too still bothers me to this day, and as callous as it sounds, there aren't many that bother me for any lengthy period of time.

Sometimes I wish they did. And then I get one like D. Too, and I'm glad they don't, because it's tough to love a horse you've never seen in the flesh, never touched, never anything, as much as that and have her break down and then wonder what it would be like to have one you've been personally involved with pass on.

I suppose before her, I watched my favorite horse get put down no more than seven feet from my face in Oregon, but now I'm going off on a tangent. And I hadn't loved one quite the same for a long time since that day.

Thanks for posting that -- it's important to remember, I think.
