persephone Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thank you, people- she was such a "people loving" girl- here is one of my fave photos- not a 'good' one- but it shows her as she was-( I think I've posted it before-- but I do love it! These two younguns hadn't met her before- just sort of threw themselves all over her and she lapped it up As I type- I can hear the neighbour using his excavator out the back..........

persephone Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) A Friend’s Story Last night, I lost a friend. She died at home, with only a stranger to see her last moments. Our goodbyes were said, tearfully, during the day-she too weak to rise, me giving her a last hug. My friend’s name was Sally, and I would like to share some of her story with you – I think you would have enjoyed meeting her! Sally was a blonde- but not a ‘dumb blonde!’ She loved parties, and good food-lying in the sun, and puppies. She was terrific with children, and somehow they were drawn to her .Maybe she remembered her son, who was one of premature identical twins .The other was sadly stillborn. Sally’s son had troubles for the first few days, but grew quickly and was a loving , happy boy .He and his mum used to play for hours. Disaster struck on his first birthday, and he sadly passed away. Sally was distraught for a long time. When she was with our family- she fitted right in, and we discovered she had experienced a lot in her life. When young, she had been involved in two accidents, leaving lasting hip problems, and massive scarring. She had also been hungry, and homeless. Sally and I had a lot in common, and used to spend many hours together, walking with the dogs, and just standing companionably, watching a sunset on a Summer night, or the rise of the fog in Autumn. She was always willing to have a hug, and to listen – good qualities in a friend! Absent-minded she could be, though, and many a time she left a tap running, or forgot where she had put her lunch! Recently, her health became an issue, and she needed medication and extra care. Her old injuries were causing a lot of pain- movement became limited, and she would tire easily. Yesterday, she was very tired, and at last, her spirit escaped to run free with her son once more. I miss her terribly already- my one consolation being that now she is pain-free. Thank You ,Sally, for the years you were with us.. My friend, my dear old horse. R I P Sal. Anthropomorphic, I know.... but .... I have posted it elsewhere- so people read without guessing too early :rolleyes: Edited August 7, 2008 by persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
