Although a bit delayed, I am finally finding my thoughts about the past few weeks. Thoughts and emotions that are overwhelming, I find myself only able to deal with small pieces at a time.
What an amazing memorial service. No one could have arranged a more perfect day in a more perfect setting with the most amazing friends and family with which to share it. I remember taking a look around just before the service started and thinking once again, if anyone ever thought that Steve had nothing, just one look indicated how he had everything.
I know I didn’t have a chance to see everyone and never got to spend the time I wanted talking to those I did see, but each and every person there meant so much and gave more insight into precious memories and moments in Steve’s and my life.
These precious moments, family and friendships I am finding are incredible gifts that have been given to me that are helping me to get through the toughest moments of the past few weeks. I only hope I can find an adequate way to thank everyone and repay the thoughtfulness.
Please be patient with me as I take the time to figure out where and how my life will continue. At the moment I have returned to Louisiana. The horses are doing well and although any plans for the fall competition season have been put on hold, the spring season is not very far away and I will take the time necessary to get ready for it.
Meanwhile, please stay in touch. Keep sharing your thoughts, photos and making phone calls. I know that life is continuing on around me, and it will take me awhile to figure out where and how to continue mine. But wherever and however, I know I have a special network of clients, friends and family that will make it happen and make it fantastic again.
