Peaches died today; she's been a faithful friend, loved by everyone who met her. She's gone to meet Lightly, her first foal, Abigail, Gracie, Shadow and all other Thistle Cove Farm inhabitants who loved her. I'm quite confident Dave met her at the pearly gates.
George MacDonald is so dear! I saved that quote and you may see it crop up on my blog one day. Thank you, Sandra! Happy September!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Gretchen; MacDonald is a difficult, even hard, read but worth the time and effort.

Bless you Deanna; little by little, I'm saying goodbye, and Dave is saying hello, to those friends and companions we shared life with at the mountain farm. Sandra
DeleteTears come into my eyes about peaches - -
ReplyDeleteSuch a pieceful photo of her in the sun. I believe in meeting our animalfriends in heaven as well as our human friends.
Greetings and blessings for you, good angle for so many!
Dori, I believe our animals friends are in heaven, waiting for our reunion. To those who don't believe, they simply won't recognize their four legged friends, but they'll be there. (Faith like a child...) Sandra
DeleteI'm so sorry about Peaches, Sandra! I've never belonged to a horse but can imagine the huge loss of such a big companion. I have never doubted that horses would be in heaven. How could those beautiful creatures not be?
ReplyDeleteThe Tolkien quote sends shivers of beautiful mystery down my spine!
Dewena, Tolkien is SO deep and, as you say, "beautiful mystery"!
DeleteSorry to hear about Peaches. Loved all these quotes and the alien theme!
