I am so sorry that you got sick. I will miss you so much and so
will all the other horses. I am sure Ziggy will miss you the most.
I have your picture on my dresser in my bedroom and I look at it
all the time. I am so glad that I was able to know you and that
you gave me and my little sister a ride on you when we were visiting
my grandma. I am sure that your mommy will miss you and so will
Ziggy and all the other horses. You were very special. My mommy
said that you got really sick and just could not make yourself better
and the doctors could not help you. I wish I was there because I
would of patted you head and give you a kiss so that you were not
scared. My mommy said that you are in a nice field in heaven and
you can run and play all the time and the weather is nice and you
have a lot of fresh grass and hay. I know you will be looking down
on us and will be waiting for us when we go up to heaven. Can I
have a ride on your back again when I see you in heaven? I promise
I will give you a carrot. You will always be in my heart and mind
and I will never forget you. I am happy that you are in a good place
and you will never be sick again. When I come to see my grandma
I promise I will see where you are buried and I will stop by and
say hi and I will leave you a carrot in case you are hungry. I love
you Asia and I will miss you.
Love,
Lorissa
(note: Lorissa is 6 - soon to be 7 and has been taking riding lessons
at a farm near her home in Virginia. I copied this just as the email
was written and sent to her grandmother. Aja colicked and was euthanized
on December 18, 2002; she came to me (Marrilyn) from Bay Meadow
Arabians, where I had the chance to learn to ride and I fell head-over-heels
in love with Aja. She was just enough of a challenge for my personality.
Thank you, Aja, for your unconditional love. You were always there
to help me through the tough times. You always listened and never
were judgmental. You always kept me safe when I wasn't paying attention.
