I'm going to try not to make too many sad posts about losing Jampy, so hopefully this is the last sad one, and hopefully it's not too sad. I want to write a good long post about him and his life with me, but I need some time to sit down and do that justice. And I'm currently in a fight with Google Drive trying to get photos uploaded to use for that. Geeze blogger, throw me a bone here!

So today, I just want to say that while I'm still really sad, I also feel a lot of love coming from every corner of my life. I have friends that do the sweetest things.

| came home to flowers and homemade chocolate chip cookies last night. |
I've received cards and flowers, more texts than I can count, comments on my last blog post, my Facebook post, my Instagram post... I could go on and on. And it all means so very much to me.
Everyone's kind words. BOTH my vets letting me know I did right by him. All those things I really needed to hear, I heard.
Rio seems to be doing just fine on his own which is a huge relief.

I'm not sure if he has no idea or if he and Jamp had a heart to heart that last day. But whatever the reason, he's doing just fine. Eating, drinking, pooping, peeing. Snuggling. This:
I'm still trying to decide what to do next. Originally, I figured if he was ok alone, I'd just wait until I found my next horse. But that next horse will (hopefully) be a show horse, and that would mean Rio would be alone often. So now I'm thinking maybe I get a low maintenance pony of some sort. Maybe something my nieces could sit on safely. Still going to have to work all that out. Fortunately, Rio is allowing me time for that. Such a good unicorn he is.
And lastly, I wanted to thank all of you for reaching out and supporting me (and Rio) through this sad time. This community of horse bloggers really is something special. And I'm so glad to be a part of it.
