1972 to Tuesday 29th July 2008
I will NEVER forget you my darling Sonny. 'My Baby' as I will always call you.
You were a beautiful, gentle, very special 15hh Chestnut Anglo Arab Gelding with a golden mane and tail who gave me unconditional love from the moment you came into my life on the 15th August 1979 for 29 wonderful years.
I can’t believe that I nearly didn’t come to see you, as you were 15hh and as a teenager I wanted to still be able to enter pony events?! I fell in love with you the moment I set eyes on you.
Through all those years I had fun, laughter, happiness, tears of joy and sadness and been on an emotional rollercoaster but my life has been a better place with you being part of it my darling.
I devoted myself to give you the best care and attention I possibly could and in a very affectionate way called you 'high maintenance' in the latter years but I will NEVER EVER regret a single second! You became 'my rock', as whenever I felt down or low, sad or unwell, just seeing and being with you always made me feel better. I know we had a very special connection.
I promised myself a long time ago that I would never let you suffer or be in pain in any way, as I owed it to you for all the joy and happiness you had already brought to me. When that fateful day came, as I knew it had to, it was the most difficult decision I had or will ever have to make (even though it was the right and only one). I am still heartbroken and miss you so VERY VERY much. I lost a part of me that day that can NEVER be replaced and I felt like my world had started to fall further apart.
I will ALWAYS love and miss you.
You will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.
All My Love.
XXXXXXX
