Kind people in the world

I got a call early yesterday that there would be a little memorial for Jen's horse Ariele at noon. Amazingly, Laura, the owner of the barn where Jen had planned to move Ariele (and where Dude and Bestie are heading at the end of the month), offered a burial place for Ariele right there on the property. Laura is a very warm, generous and kind-hearted person. Randy, who works at our current barn, offered to move Ariele from the clinic to the new barn and bury her. A small group of us gathered to say goodbye to Ariele, shed tears and share a few laughs remembering some favorite stories. Jen laid flowers on the burial spot and said a final goodbye to her girl. Ariele's place is in a back corner of a pasture, right along the treeline, a quiet and beautiful spot. Thanks to the support of Laura and Randy, it is wonderful that her final resting place is on the property where her mom Jen had expected Ariele would be so very happy.
