I think it is the time of year when one remembers as well as reconnects or not with family and friends.

"A rich Christmas stew of memory and loss."
Her words speak deeply to me this year.
*****
Abra got some Christmas wishes and even Christmas cards. That is o.k.
Yesterday she was standing in the crossties outside her stall with her little ears perked up watching me coming towards her. I had a flashback of Bishop being tied in the same place many times and I missed him. I went to Abra and patted her nose and told she was such a nice horse and I was glad she is mine.
I had a Christmas card from the vet who took care of Bishop at the end of his life. That felt o.k and sad at the same time. As I told a close friend, this was not supposed to happen - I was supposed to enjoy him for a few more years.

I think that is how grieving is - remembering and feeling sad even as one moves along with ones life.

Vicki,
It's OK to be sad and miss Bishop. He was such a big part of your life. And soon the sadness will be replaced with happy memories of your time with him. He will always be with you. Abra will help you move forward.
