Anniversary

Aa year ago today, my beautiful horse, Titch, collapsed and died. I wrote this a week later. I've been thinking of him so much today. He was very, very special.

And I was so lucky to have him.

    Such a magnificent animal. Heartbreaking when we lose something we love..

    I can well understand how you must feel. I'm not a pet person (not that horses are really pets) but I still feel a twinge when I think of the loss of Big Puss back in 2005 and he was only 'my' cat by accident.

    Is it a year already, Frances? I know you are still feeling the loss, because you and Titch had such a special relationship. I always loved reading your "conversations" with him.
    My heartfelt thoughts are with you.

    More than 13 years have passed since Mimi, the cat I had raised from when she was 12 weeks old, died, and I still think of her very often.
    An animal can leave a gap in our lives just as much as a person; maybe not on the same level, but definitely a gap.
    Like Kay, I am amazed that it is a year already.

      I remember that post, Frances. Our animals always have a special place in our hearts.

    It is very clear how special he was, Frances and how much you loved him. I can hardly believe it's been a year x

    You have all those lovely memories to cherish. Shed a few tears - it's allowed.

    Thanks, everyone. We all move on. But nearly every day I pass the patch of grass where he died, and someone else is in his stable. Good memories, though.

    Can't believe it's a year already, Frances. I can only imagine your loss as we all became so fond of him through your blog posts.

    It is difficult to believe that a year has passed already Frances as time flies away with itself.
    Titch remains in you, etched into that very special place where loved ones reside as fond memories.
    Hugs.

    Can't believe it's been a year. I'm sure he's in your thoughts most days but especially now.

    Thanks so much. You're all very kind. I do have Fairfax (Fairy) now, and he's lovely, but I guess everyone has a best-ever, and Titch was mine.
