Another year has come and gone. I do not even like to keep "anniversaries" of sad days. For some reason this one was so impactful that i find it hard to ignore. So help me lift a glass to the good memories of my dear friends, who all passed under horrible circumstances on this day five years ago. Yes time does heal, but on some days, the scar hurts like hell

I lift my glass to those gone.

It is so hard to lose them. I'll raise a glass in memory of the ones you lost.

Thoughts with you and your friends, Chisamba.

I am so sorry Chisamba.

Such a sad memory - lifting a glass for your loss.

I remember that vividly, so sorry for your experience but thanks for sharing those great photos.

Such sweet, kind faces. I can't imagine ever being able to cope with such a loss. But, I guess it becomes part of you and you just trudge on with life. Here is to good memories of all the dear souls that were lost that day.

I remember when you posted about the tragic loss of the horses.

I'm sure it's a day that will forever be etched in your memory and your heart. You want to forget what happened but you can't forget the horses and their loving owners.
I lift a glass to their memory and to those who loved and lost their partner so tragically.

Hugs

lifting a glass to lost friends

I know what you mean- some anniversaries are just HARD. I had to give myself permission to stop and mourn and let the emotions come. I will lift a glass to your lost friends tonight.

A horrible tragedy. Unthinkable. But it is right and good to remember them. Here's to the ones that were so loved. Their loss will always be felt. All we can do is keep going and try to replace the sadness with good memories.

Godspeed to all the friends you lost.

Cheers to the love and the bond and happy memories. They will be with you always. So deeply sorry for what you all went through.

Such overwhelming heartbreak. I can't imagine. My heart goes out to you on such a sad anniversary.

That was such a tragic day. I lift a glass to the memory of all those fine horses.

Count me in...clink!

You help me feel better, thank you. I raised glass and a good thought for your own beloved animals that went on ahead of you.

Raising the glass in my hand... clink!!

Chisamba,
Sorry I missed this yesterday. To all those dear souls....

I missed this yesterday too, so I'm raising a glass tonight. Such lovely photos of those now gone, I'm so sorry for your huge loss Chisamba, and I, too, recall you posting about it, wow, 5 years ago.

Geezus, I swear I feel worse about that than if those were human faces. That was sooooo awful!

Gone, but never forgotten.

To your friends.

I missed this, as I've been dealing with my mother's death on January 15th, and the aftermath. I will lift a glass to your beautiful lost friends tonight, and to my beautiful mother, as well.

I remember this like it was yesterday.

To this day, I refuse to have electricity in my barn.
The fire is a big reason why.

Sorry for your loss, Chisamba.

Kathy, very sorry for your loss. May you find solace in good memories.

Chisamba, I remember your nightmare very clearly. I raise my glass also, albeit a day late. Here's to all those wonderful animals, and to you for putting one foot in front of the other until it became easier to smile again.

Here's to our true 4-legged friends, who's spirit lives on in us. So sorry Chisamba.

Tragic. And you, Chisamba, did such an admirable job of supporting your students by standing up and inching forward one step at a time. *glass raised* (well ... tonight).

I remember that and can't believe it was 5years ago.

Glass raised in their memory.

Thank you.

Dear Kathy and Chisamba, I am so very very sorry for your loss.

With all the shit going on in the world right now, this is a different kind of sadness, more personal for all of us. I raise my glass, too.
