MY POOR BABY GIRL.

MY DAUGHTER CALLED ME TODAY TO INFORM ME THAT HER BEST FRIEND DIED. HER BEST FRIEND IS HER HORSE, MISSY.

SHE WAS VERY UPSET, AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO FOR HER. I FEEL AWFUL. I COULD ONLY SAY SOME COMFORTING THINGS ON THE PHONE. I TOLD MY M.I.L. (MOM-IN-LAW) I COULD COME DOWN TO COMFORT MY KIDDO. SHE SAID SHE'LL BE FINE, AND THAT SHE JUST NEEDED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

THE HORSE MAY HAVE DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES, OR SUDDEN DEATH UNKNOWN. THE VET TOLD THEM IT WASN'T HER HEART, LUNGS, OR GESTATIONAL, WITHOUT DOING ANY EXPENSIVE TESTING.

I FEEL SO AWFUL NOT BEING THERE TO COMFORT HER. I'VE MISSED SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES IN HER LIFE, AND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE. I FEEL COMPLETELY USELESS.

LAST WEEK WAS HER 9TH BDAY PARTY AT CHUCK E CHEESES. I GOT HER A $50 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO THE RANCH AND HOME STORE TO SELECT SOMETHING SHE MAY WANT OR NEED FOR HER HORSE, AND I ALSO BOUGHT HER A PAIR OF PINK CHEETAH RIDING GLOVES, AND A BIG BAG OF BUTTERSCOTCH HORSE TREATS.

I THINK I'LL STOP FOR NOW AND GET READY FOR THE LATE SHIFT AT WORK. 2PM-12:30AM AT THE MALL. HOW BORING.
