A piece of my heart is gone and will never be back. On 10/10/12 between 6pm and 7pm, my beloved 3 yr old Enzo dropped dead in his pasture doing his favorite thing....eating grass and hanging with his equine buddies. Enzo had a Friesian genetic aortic rupture and died instantly with no pain or anything. I am beyond devastated as you can imagine. Of the only good thing I can look at right now, is at least he didn't suffer and it was quick and I am sure Enzo didn't even know. I have no children, my 4 legged furry ones are my children. As you can imagine, I am absolutely devastated, hurt, sad, lost, and the list gone on. It will take a while, before I am back to myself again. Please friends, don't make a phone call. If you want to show your love, or sympathy? I just cannot handle that right now as my emotions are overwhelmed and I have cried so much already the past days, but please feel free to leave a post.
Dear Enzo, words can never say how much I love you, always will, and I will miss you so much in every part of my day. I am glad my routine after every visit I saw you was.....a hug, a kiss, and me saying I love you! Oh and of course, most of the time before I got in my car since you would still be standing by the gate.....I would say down the barn hallway and please stay out of trouble Enzo, please. This is some of the last pictures I took of Enzo last Sunday afternoon. Enzo will be forever missed, Janine & Kaspin
I said it on fb, but again, I am so sorry. I can't imagine how you are feeling, but know that we're here for you! Lots of love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry for your lost. Can't come close to comprehending the pain you're in. Sending cyber hugs your way. Hope Kaspin & you can help each other thru the loss.
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge loss. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteHe is a beautiful boy, and left you with so many great memories. I am so sorry to hear of your loss :( At least you helped him live his life to the fullest, and the years he had were in a loving, caring, natural home :) I can't imagine what you are going through, but we are all here to support you!
ReplyDeleteThis is heartbreaking. :( I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteSo so sorry, Janine. I could tell how much you loved Enzo and he loved you back for everything you have done for him. I can't even begin to imagine your pain. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteOh jeez Janine, I'm soooo very sorry! This breaks my heart. Lots of hugs for you and Kas!
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry :(
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you. I can't imagine. Prayers for you :(
ReplyDeleteI so completely shocked..I'm so so sorry. It's completely unfair and I hope you find peace knowing he went pain free and completely loved by you. I know that to be 10000% true with our hours of phone conversations about our babies. Sweet Enzo I'm sure is playing with Palidor clearly, in heaven.
ReplyDeleteHUGS and I'm here for you when you need...
xoxo
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
ReplyDeleteis a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
when their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
is a place where beloved creatures find rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
til The Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
for here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed.
Their bodies have healed with strength imbued.
They trot through the grass without even a care,
til one day they whinny and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes sharp and alert.
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the herd.
For just at that second, there's no room for remorse.
As they see each other...one person...one horse.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart
has turned to joy once more in each heart.
They nuzzle with a love that will last forever.
And then, side-by-side, they cross over...together.
