It seems
more than a coincidence that Topper was
put down on, if my calculations are
correct, the same day that
Gen's Gold Flame became pregnant.
It was the week we had been to the beach
and I came home to find an e-mail
telling me Topper had been put down. I
fell apart, had a breakdown whatever you
want to call it......nearly grieving
myself to death and replaying the whole
thing in my mind. Why did I ever sell
him? With the news of Topper, the
pain of losing Top Gun came back again
in great waves sweeping over me. I was
inconsolable.
And then we had Gen's Gold Flame
ultra-sounded and there was the tiny
embryo.
God spoke to my heart or the scripture
came to mind,
To
everything there is a season.....a
time to be born and a time to die.
This is
the way life here on earth is meant to
be. Death is a part of life. And just
as with the seasons, there is a time of
renewal, so will come spring and a new
life, a new foal.
She was ultra-sounded at 25 days to be
sure the embryo was still there and sure
enough, there it was. The amazing thing
is, the vet magnified the screen.
There was the beat of a tiny heart.
