It's been two whole years to the day that Flair had his terrible colic episode and we had to put him down. I still miss him like crazy every day, but I especially miss him on the anniversary day of his death. I made a memorial video for him after he died, and then another one a year after, but wasn't able to make one this year because of work (and the pony) taking up so much of my time last week.
I played his two songs tonight... "Into the West" by Annie Lennox and then the song from Troy "Remember Me" -- and those two songs always make me cry. I think I did a lot better this year because I spent the afternoon with Mitch, and fussed over him a lot. I totally believe that Flair picked Mitch personally for me because the day I went to try him out, I felt Flair's presence.
He still visits a lot too, he's come and visited me a few times in my dreams, and I feel him around when we trail ride sometimes. I have a little bridle tag on my bridle that says Flair on it, and then a small horsehair tassel of some hairs from Flair's tail, so he's always with us in spirit. My friend says she can see horses in the stars, but she's never seen Flair, and I know it's because he's still down here with me.
It's never easy, and I'll miss him to the end of my days, but having Mitch helps. Another horse to love.
