Death
Just when you think everything is going well, everything starts sucking. A horse at my old barn died on Monday. He broke his leg, his name is Murphy. I feel bad feeling bad. I feel like I shouldn't be crying because I am not part of that barn anymore, why should I be so emotionally connected? But I am. I remember the first summer he was there, Sarah and I were the only ones he would jump with, I have some awesome pictures of us. I have also done 2 CNY's with him.
He was out in the Pasture smelling the new horse, and all of a sudden, they turn their butts at each other and the new horse is kicking and kicking at Murphy and he is surrounded by all the other horses so he can't get out. When he finally does and makes a break for it, he slips and falls into the barn, leaving a hole in Sandy's door. They laid down shavings so he could get traction to get up and when he did, he ran away on 3 legs to the gate. he stayed there and the person who loves him the most, Ana, got the treats she got for him for christmas and fed them to him until the vet came out, took one look under the blanket where it was broken, shook his head and gave the injection.
Also, my great uncle john should be dead in a day or so. I only feel bad about that for my great aunt Claudia because he was an ass and by the time she gets done taking care of all of my dying relatives, it will be time for her. I love my family during these situations, I think that none of us know how to deal with death so we make jokes, but I like that better than crying.
And so, Today is New Years Eve and this eve is going a lot better than last years went so I am having bright hopes for the future. my cousin Anna told me her theory on this day, wanna hear it? okay. . .
Her friend crystal had the perfect first wedding and a terrible first marriage. She had a terrible second wedding but had the best marriage, with her best friend and partner. So the theory is that if we have a terrible day today, then maybe we will have an awesome year to come. . . make sense?. . . i like it.
I just got back from Boston and watching the parade, I'll tell you about it later, I don't have enough time but it was fuuun.
