Making a Difference

Today I delivered a friends dying wish. 

My friend Joyce was in her last days of her battle with brain cancer. It was her request to be in the presence of a horse one last time.

Yet, Joyce was under hospice care and was not able to leave the house and too weak get out of her bed. 

It seemed like an impossible task to honor her dying wish.

As a mental health therapist that practices equine assisted psychotherapy, I have watched miracles unfold through partnerships with horses. 

I knew my mare Bunny was up to this task. 

So, we booted up and hauled Bunny into the subdivision where she lived. Bunny marched right over to her house and up the stairs onto the deck. Yes, the horse is at the front door getting ready to step over the threshold.

Into the house Bunny went, through the kitchen and she made a beeline for Joyce. 

They had a wonderful visit and Joyce got to spend some time in her final days with her equine friend.

I was honored to be a part of this special life event.
