I've had a couple heart/stroke - related incidents, so a few memories are incomplete as far as specifics. But it's been about 10 years since....
Life hit a rough spot, in many ways. Some of my kids crushed me and broke my heart. Mind you my heart has been breaking for years over one of my children. Then a grandchild added to the pain. When this last series of events happened with some of the others
- it was too much.
I bought 2 horses. They saved me when there were no humans to turn too. The horses brought me back to who I was, rather than being stuck with who I had become.
One has since passed the other still with me. She's been my rock. This will be our 9th Christmas together. Finances are tight so I don't have the gas every day to go see her and bring her lunch. I'm hoping things will get better in the new year.
Technically my therapy costs $300 a month and the insurance doesn't pay for this one. We accept donations to help. I have one sponsor that gives a little every month to help cover her costs. I would love to find a sponsor to cover her farrier appointments. We've had to get a new farrier, since ours has passed {Or at least gone missing}. The bill has went up to $70 every 8-10 weeks.

StarBright knows the car when it's coming down the road. The daily connection we have is what keeps me going. She knows me better than any human. I think she understands me better too.
