You where right about how science has taken away so many things in our life. But that God does show his face in places we didn’t think possible, like our animals. Giving them a personality, having them show it to us in bits & pieces. Just when we didn’t expect it. Our four legged friends are just that. they listen to your problems & don’t tell nobody your secrets. When they look at you, you can hear them say “Let me take the pain away”, or “We can have together time anytime.” And the trust that is built between animal & human is so remarkable.
You are a blessed man for how you can elaborate on such details. Keep up the Good work & God Bless
If you write like this all the time you need to get a hold of the book company that makes chicken soup for your soul. I am sure they would publish your short stories in a book.

Dearest Richard, Jennifer and Matt,
God Bless You for what you have done for Pal and for what you continue to do on a daily basis for this remarkable horse! If I can help Pal in anyway i would love to! I would enjoy sharing with you sometime the miracles that i to have experienced with the horses that have touched my life and for those that came in and around the barn. I am a BELIEVER! I embrace the thoughts that if man kind would just listen and observe the horse more, they would learn so much more and could live life to the fullest…. in every moment with more to share with others. I BELIEVE that life is A GIFT and it should not be taken for granted, including the lives of horses and other creatures that our creator blessed this earth with. My greatest lessons in life came from the HORSES! They are wonderful teachers, if we would just listen and observe more, instead of it being the other way around. Many times i found myself longing for the intelligence of the horse, more often than human. I jokingly sometimes admit to others that i am more horse than human! I BELIEVE!

Richard, I seldom ever cry, but I had teary eyes at the end of this story. This is your most well-written story in my opinion. It has a good mixture of saying just enough in each paragraph to keep you reading, but then you wrap it up in time to make your point before I start to drift away and become unattentive. You were able to do that pretty much in every paragraph equally. I think this story is a keeper to include in your book later.

Richard – thank you for posting this story on our FB page. I was crying – as I could directly relate with you and your relationship with Kate! How beautiful. Thank you, Alli Kuhl – Omega Fields

Richard, What a touching tribute to an old, dear, friend. The picture of your son reading was precious. We are animal lovers too, and yes, I did need a few tissues.
