Great Morning!

I frequently put up a "Good morning!" post on IG.  Sometimes I just say "Good morning!".  Sometimes I end up writing more of a blog post.  Today was one of those days so I decided to add it over here.  For the record...

Great morning!

Look who I spotted out the back door this morning.  It was cool and comfortable and he'd followed Tabitha out to graze and made it all the way to the house.

I stayed hidden on the porch and let them graze for awhile and then finally carried my coffee down to the driveway.

Jared and I stood there like old times, leaning on each, watching the sun rise and I tried to remember to enjoy the moment without being sad about the future.

We were a long way from the barn.  Up hill.  If I could carry him, I would.  Forever.

He kept leaning his weak hip on my leg and reached down and began to pick some grass.  He took a small leaning step and I stayed with him.  He took another small leaning step and I took another small step with him. And another. And another.  And we walked each other home.  And I cried most of the way...but was also grateful for the journey.
