After a long and good life, my beloved horse Vanja passed away in the age of almost 32 years. She was the one who gave me strength during difficult years in the past.  Having been part of my life for almost 30 years, it will take time to getting used to the idea that she is no longer around.

Thank you, sweet horse, for all the goods things you gave to me.

Nicole Hulten, cattery Abilities, sent us, as a consolation, a wonderful story.
Read it here

"wenn Du bei Nacht den Himmel anschaust, wird es Dir sein, als lachten die Sterne.
Weil ich auf einem von Ihnen wohne.....
Weil ich auf einem von ihnen lache.
Nur Du alleine wirst die Sterne haben, die lachen können.
Und wenn Du Dich getröstet hast,
wirst Du froh sein mich gekannt zu haben."

(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

Nun ist der kleine Goldfinger bestimmt bei seinem Opa auf dem Stern und sie werden nur für Euch lachen und nur Ihr werdet es hören.
Gute Reise kleiner Freund und grüß mir Deinen wundervollen Opa von mir.
Liebe Grüße,
Marisa
