My BJ, My Husband has Died

[AMKuska]

How lucky for Sparkles that the lady took her in. A home with someone who's used to elderly horses is really quite perfect.

My 3 beloved horses all have good homes. I looked out the kitchen window this morning like I do every morning and there is no view of my horses any more. But I am happy. God brought two families for my horses and I am at peace.

i don't cry easy but this has me bawlin'...

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, bay. thoughts and prayers for you....and I am so amazed that everything worked out so quickly for your horses.

I went to the funeral home today and picked up BJ in a box. BJ in a Box sounds like a catchy name for a new toy doesn't it? Just don't open the box.

He's on an end table in the living room. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think I just joined the Club of Crazy Old Widow Women who talk to their husband in a box or urn or whatever. At least mine has a catchy name.

Go ahead and talk to him. He's listening, I'm sure. Tell him about the horses, the neighbors, the plans, and carry on conversations as if he's still there, interested in what you have to say. No harm and only good - good for you and your heart.

Me too. I had to chop an 'extra onion' for soup tonight, as a cover.

So happy for you @baymule that things worked out so well for you and your horses.
You're a pretty special & strong lady.

DeeDee said, "I'll take her".
Me, "You will?"
Husband, "What are you doing?"
DeeDee, "You didn't hear her nickering for her friend?"
Husband hung his head, shaking his head. He was whupped before he even got started and he knew it.
I started crying and hugged DeeDee and told her she didn't know what that meant to me, it had been heavy on my heart. I had Sparkles 23 years and I sure didn't want to put my old friend down.

I can't stop crying while reading this~I am so happy for you and your beloved horses!

Thanks y'all. I still have my saddles. I'm not giving up. I'm down, but I'm not out.

I finally dumped out the sludge in the coffee pot yesterday and cleaned it up. I made my own coffee this morning.
