“I never thought it was possible to love anybody so much or quite so completely, or that anybody should be so wonderfully abundant and prodigal to me in everything I’ve wanted most. As we have settled down and become firmer in our minds, and more peaceful in our hearts, our life together has become so unbelievably beautiful.” - Laurence Olivier

“Lady Undómiel,” said Aragorn, “the hour is indeed hard, yet it was made even in that day when we met under the white birches in the garden of Elrond where none now walk. And on the hill of Cerin Amroth when we forsook both the Shadow and the Twilight this doom we accepted. […] But let us not be overthrown at the final test […] In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! We are not bound forever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory, Farewell!”

‘“Estel, Estel!” she cried, and with that even as he took her hand and kissed it, he fell into sleep.”

”[…]There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by men that come after, and elanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the Sea.”

I don’t even know what to say…and I’m tired of people trying to get me to talk about it, or tell me how terrible it is, like I don’t already know….

I remember the day she showed up in my driveway. My grandparents called me outside and I didn’t want to go, because it was cold. I wanted this over quickly, so I went out there without shoes on, I should have known something was up. My family isn’t the “Let’s have Christmas Party” kind of people. I didn’t remember who you were, you were small and ugly, but you had a big bow around your neck. You were soo alert being in a development, but you still sniffed my hand and didn’t act stupid. I still didn’t like you, and I didn’t like you for a week. I knew you weren’t the kind of horse I needed at that time in my riding…but then you got sick and I slept outside your stall for a week. I fell in love, and I made the choice to give it a try.

You were a bit crazy, but I know so much of what I know now because of what we went through, and I still bear the scars from the very first time I cantered on your back and we both fell. There were times when I thought it would be better to sell you. KNEW it would be better to sell you and I didn’t. I don’t know if I would of made it past 13 without you. 

I’m not even allowed to be upset. I don’t know how to keep this all in anymore. I feel like I’ve failed her so badly. 11 years together and even though I hated some of it, she was there for me when I needed her and now I’m not there for her when she needs me. I almost lost her twice before and saved her both and this time I can’t help you.

There will always be horses these for me, but I won’t have your two white socks and two black socks trotting together. I won’t have any more debates about whether your stripe is a HP Lighting Bolt or a Moonbeam. Or “Oh what’s her brand mean?” or “wow she’s so gorgeous.”  

I think I’ll miss the head on the shoulder the most though….she isn’t affectionate at all. That little head on the shoulder was her way of saying she enjoys my presence. 

I wish I didn’t have to do this, I really don’t want to do this…

I’m really sorry…

“Riding is a partnership. The horse lends you his strength, speed and grace, which are greater then yours. For your part, you give him guidance, intelligence and understanding which are greater then his. Together you can achieve a richness that neither can alone.”

Tatjana Plitt is journeying across the country and photographing military families to demonstrate that the so-called Defense of Marriage Act hurts real couples and real families. This couple, for example, Ashley and Liliana, recently welcomed a baby boy into the world, Brice. However, even though Ashley is on her son’s birth certificate, DOMA prohibits her from receiving the “paternity” leave that any other military spouse would receive in the event of the birth of a child. Reblog this photo or click the heart to stand with Ashley and Liliana, and check out all SEVEN amazing portraits.
