Peaches died today; she’s been a faithful friend, loved by everyone who met her. She’s gone to meet Lightly, her first foal, Abigail, Gracie, Shadow and all other Thistle Cove Farm inhabitants who loved her. I’m quite confident Dave met her at the pearly gates.
Deborah says
I’m sorry to hear about Peaches. How special to think of your husband meeting her at the gates.
I love that George MacDonald quote. I’m copying that one down!
Dayna says
These are beautiful passages to honor Preaches. So sorry for your loss. She was loved very much, I’m sure. xx

Sorry to hear about Peaches. Loved all these quotes and the alien theme!
Dewena says
I'm so sorry about Peaches, Sandra! I've never belonged to a horse but can imagine the huge loss of such a big companion. I have never doubted that horses would be in heaven. How could those beautiful creatures not be?
The Tolkien quote sends shivers of beautiful mystery down my spine!
Sandra @ Thistle Cove Farm says
Dewena, Tolkien is SO deep and, as you say, "beautiful mystery"!

Tears come into my eyes about peaches – –
Such a pieceful photo of her in the sun. I believe in meeting our animalfriends in heaven as well as our human friends.
Greetings and blessings for you, good angle for so many!

Dori, I believe our animals friends are in heaven, waiting for our reunion. To those who don't believe, they simply won't recognize their four legged friends, but they'll be there. (Faith like a child…) Sandra
Deanna says
Bless you and God's peace comfort you,

Bless you Deanna; little by little, I'm saying goodbye, and Dave is saying hello, to those friends and companions we shared life with at the mountain farm. Sandra

George MacDonald is so dear! I saved that quote and you may see it crop up on my blog one day. Thank you, Sandra! Happy September!

You're welcome Gretchen; MacDonald is a difficult, even hard, read but worth the time and effort.
