Captain and coke and bar room jokes keeping me feeling fine

So last night I called Coop,
and I finally got to talk to him.
We were on the phone for almost two hours.
I didn't think it was possible for him to talk that much.
We were basically just talking horses and Glade Run.
Everyone there is making a lot of progress,
and the program there is starting to make progress too.
I'm so happy to hear that, I just wish I could be there.
I wish I could be there to see it happen.
But I can't be there, and it's ok because at least I know about it.
And at least it's getting done.

If there's one thing I could've brought with me here,
it would've been Glade Run and everyone there.
I would've gladly left all of my belongings behind to bring that place with me.
Glade Run, and the people involved with it,
have made such a huge impact on my life.

Coop especially.
He helped me with so much stuff.
I don't care that he's 31 years old.
He is hands down, my best friend.
He knows me so well, and he knows how to make me feel better.
I miss goofing off with him at the barn.
I miss being made fun of by him, and then making fun of him.
I miss making fun of Bourque and everybody else with him.
I miss singing Big and Rich with him in the barn.
I miss goofing off with Richie and him when Richie was around.
I miss making fun of him with Richie.
I just miss talking to him, or just sitting in the office while he did his paper work.
Or while he would spin around in his computer chair,
and then raised it and lowered it.
I miss being at horseshows with him,
watching him rush around,
helping him get horses ready,
and then goofing off with him.
And I miss him telling me what I did wrong in the show ring.
I miss my lessons with him.
He was honest, but not harsh.
He helped me make a lot of progress with my riding.
And if someday I have half the knowledge that he has with horses and riding,
I will be one very happy camper.

Talking to Coop last night too helped me realize a lot of things.
I need to get my confidence back in Shooter so I can make some real progress.
I need to get my confidence back in myself.
Coop has faith in me.
It's time I started having faith in me too.
