Location: At home | Haven't been on here in a while, so thought i would just drop a short update. As many know, i had to leave my life, horses, family/friends and start a new life yr ago and it's been rough. i miss so much, but can't look back at that now. Had surgery on my neck in April, rods and plates put in. well, last Wed., the 4th i had another back surgery done too. (getting to be a habit, huh?) They fused two discs this time. Have another surgery next year, and the surgeon said that i could kinda plan on continuing these surgeries for now. Hard to think a fall down a hay chute, getting a leg hung up on the way down could haunt me all these years later. But.......could be a whole lot worse!! i am truly blessed. My oldest son lives two blocks away, is engaged to a terrific woman - and i have GRANDSONS now!! Deb lived in Greece 18 yrs and has three sons...21 yrs, 13, and 10 yrs. They are so much fun! My youngest son lives back home, surrounded by my family and will be coming out to spend Christmas Eve and Day with us. THIS is the best present i could have asked for! My prayers and thoughts go out to Kay and all the other Barrel Buddies suffering or lonely this time of year. Just want to give each of you a big Hug and say "thank you" for all you do.......your prayers have kept me going. i keep praying that i will finally be able to afford to bring my pony out here, but the way things keep happening (back, etc) i just don't see how i can ever swing that. i am going back to work next week.....not with a smile from my doctor, but have to pay rent and eat once a day. Sure is hard to leave all those horses, pickups and trailers and have nothing.....but, can't look back, and sure can't go back. It's hard knowing the person you loved - and still love - doesn't want you anymore. But, harder still is losing friends becuz i left.......guess he was right, i'm not much. Nothing without him, anyway. So, anyhow.........Merry Christmas everybody! Keep your family and friends close - - you never know when you won't have them anymore. (sorry about the rambling......Christmas is a time for memories,i guess.)

Location: Phoenix | Not sure of your situation but I know what it's like to leave your horses behind. I did to move to the city to get more job experience. It's tough but eventually it's "out if sight, out of mind". I get the itch to ride pretty often though. Winter isn't as hard......
I'm glad you are surrounded by family, that's why I intend to move back soon--to be closer to my mom & dad....gotta cherish the time we have together! Life is too short. Merry Christmas.  | |

This is complete BS. I pray that in the coming year you'll realize it also. | |
