Vela's Jake, beautiful TWH

[K9soul]

I don't have any poetic words from the heart right now, because my heart is too sick with grief for Vela and Jake. For those that didn't see the prayer request thread in pet general, Jake came down with an extremely severe colic that in the end cost him his life. I just wanted to wish him Godspeed, I hope he knows how special he was to her and all who met him. I hope he knows how many times he helped her get through the worst of days, and how much he was the reason for the best of days. Such a gentle soul, taken too, too soon, from a heart already burdened with so much loss this year. You'll never be forgotten, beautiful boy.

Beautiful Jake, I wish I had words of comfort for your mommy. She's a pretty special lady and you were pretty darn lucky to end up with her as an owner. Good boy, rest easy now. Her friends and Gent will help her through your passing. It will take time but we're here for her.

Oh, Vela... tears flow freely. It's really not fair sometimes. {{many hugs}}

Jake, black beauty
Handsome and breathtakingly gorgeous boy
Sculpted muscles under gleaming obsidian coat
Stand forever in silhouette on the distant horizon
Watching over Vela's heart and home

Jake, so handsome
Every horse-crazy girl's someday dream
Sweet and strong
Silly and serious
Like a cast-iron figurine breathed into life
Everything she'd wish for
Even before she knew it

Jake, run free, colic gone
Whole and magnificent again
Wind in your silken mane
Send the thunder of joyful hoofbeats
Into Vela's dreams
And let her know
That love - love lives on
Even after we've had to say good-bye.

I'm sorry.

[Cinder & Smoke]

So very Sorry ...

Run with the Wind, Jake -
Run with the Wind.

I think God has a new Sky Pony ...
He'll look good with Wings.

How sad that Jake was taken away so suddenly

A horse at the stables I ride at has recently passed away too, and that saddened me greatly, so I can't comprehend what it's like to lose a horse of your own.

((hugs)) Vela.
