You just never know.
In ‘rescue’ there is much heartache. Many times we lose an animal we try so desperately to ‘fix’. I suppose that is life in general….we THINK we are in control from time to time……..but no amount of ‘science’ will fix that which is not mean to be.
It is devastating enough to lose a a sick horse ( or any animal) but to lose one so healthy, vibrant, young for inexplicable reason is somehow more tragic, in my opinion.
It is a terrible, hard reminder that we NEVER are fully ‘in control’. …
That anything can happen, at any time.
It is so easy to be angry about such a thing but riddle me this….WHO can we possibly be angry with when such a nightmare strikes? Ourselves for ‘maybe’ having missed something? God? Neither of which are helpful and I have learned that that way lay madness.
The gorgeous Bentley, rescued May 2nd 2021 ….Healthy, strong, young, stunning….
Left this world this morning to my sincere shock. ( Colic, and swiftly. It was no one’s ‘Fault.’)
This was not a ‘fundraised horse’ but I felt the need to share with you this :You can not ‘plan’ for tragedy. It is always horrible…..but it is what you do from that point forward that matters.
It hurts, every time….but do not give up helping those you can because of that hurt.
Let the hurt come, and then let it fuel the fire inside you to do more.
Why does this happen, you ask?
The best answer I have is………..
Only God knows why.
Bentley ~Rescued May 2nd Left this world May 6th 2021
Rest in power, gorgeous. I only wish I’d known you more.
