A Terrible Day

Satire


Yesterday Our beloved 33 year old Arab went to heaven.
He fell and broke his R. femur. An injury that can't be repaired in a horse.
He was is such pain. Thank God the vet got there right away and after hearing that there were no other options, we had him put to sleep.
This is a writing that Michele, my daughter, did last night. Him and her were so bonded together; there will never be another Satire.



My Life Changed Forever Today~

My heart is bleeding someone make it stop, I cry...but no one can
My life changed in an instant today...
Satire, my beloved Arabian Horse has gone home to the Heavens
I begged Jesus to come get him and show him all around
I asked for Ralphie to be come too
Ralphie has already crossed the Rainbow Bridge and was Satire’s buddy
My soul feels stunned, I feel the Black Emptiness starting to crawl over my soul
My life will NEVER be the same....NEVER EVER
Satire was a VERY special horse...
You could not understand unless you met him, he was the Arabian King
Remembered by many from his show days and touching the hearts of all
the people he met, truly ONE of a kind
Very smart, beautiful & talented even at age 33
With quite a personality to match and a Perfect Arab head
He had the power to make me laugh, cry or feel better even in my worst mood
I’m glad I was with him and he did not suffer long
I am BLESSED because he is a part of my life, his name is etched on my heart forever
It was a rainy bleak day but after Satire passed this amazing ray of sunlight came through
shining on him and I knew....he's running free with Ralphie

My heart is bleeding someone make it stop
I am afraid of the pain that is coming...God help me please

Satire
4/24/78 - 10/31/11



And the Lord said...
“Be still my beautiful creature...
See the streams & rolling hills of pasture
See the herd on the hill
They are waiting for you
Welcome Home”

  7. The power of love we have for the precious animals in our lives is so wonderful when things are good but when they go bad the pain we feel is enough to tear our hearts out of our chests.
    The bond you shared with Satire is something so many people will never get to experience. How lucky you were to have each other.
    I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Satire.

  15. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. There is such a deep sadness inside us that it is hard to grasp that Satire won't be in the barn and nicker to us when we enter. We have to be satisfied with him now being only in our hearts, until we see him again.
