Just a note to touch base and

[ChrystalPaths]

Since I had to let my Treasure go over the bridge, life has been pretty hard. I haven't been here in weeks and I was just so sad. A wonderful woman (thanks B) told me I'd better watch out and get selfish and take a break away so I did. Took a wonderful 5 day trip in a huge circle from my place wayyyy up north to Sacketts Harbor then east and south to Lake George and south to PA then home today. The leaves were magnificent, it was sure "cold" but I left everything behind and rested and ate wonderful stuff, had wine and chocolates every nite, discovered the joy of a "jacuzzi". I am home refreshed and feeling a but sore but whole again.

Now about "Kim, from Crabby Chicken....I need to contact this woman, this amazing woman. I wish to actually speak to her so anyone PM me this info....see...I came home today late and there was huge package waiting for me. I was baffled...I tore the wrapping to see my lovely Treasure looking into my eyes. Kim painted her portrait from her last picture. She captured her spirit and soul so completely.

Kim, I did cry....I really did but it was a good cry not the hearbreaking cry I have been doing. How does one thank someone for something so amazingly exquisite and original. This painting will be a "treasure", my whole life and Kim....Treasure was also Aidan's "pony" and I will bequeath this to him so it stays in my family always. Thank you so so much but please let me call you and thank you proper.

I will post a pic of this painting tomorrow so you can all see it's beauty. It's nice to be back. Debs

Not to minimize it's importance, but our Jane, my dear friend, sent me a lovely hug bear also to brighten my darkness. Jane always knows when I am at my darkest. So many folks have been so loving so supportive during this loss of mine. Treasure was my special girl and I will miss her always but the incredible pain has eased and I can live again.

There's my beauty. (thanks Robin) I cannot tell you how often I have looked at this picture. The detail is incredible. I neglected to thank Reo and Nootka. In the note from Kim she mentions your help. I don't know what help it was but my heart is very full because of this gift.

: Now to track down Kim...

: Now....I am back having gone to the members link and typing in crabby chicken? Can't find Kim....Help anyone?

[SIZE=14pt] Wow, [/SIZE]

I am SOOOO glad you like it Debbie. I just sent you an email. You have lots of people on here that care, and I wish now that I had let Robin do her painting, it would have been spectacular. She and Liz are better than I am!!!!

Again, so happy you liked it. She was a mare that you could tell was "someone!" I am glad you are starting to heal a little. It will take time.

 

[ChrystalPaths]

Kim, I do not like the portrait....I love it. You have a gift and you captured her so completely. My thanks from the heart. Maybe some day I will get another filly, I sure do miss her. The right one may come along one day but I'll let fate dictate that.
