I ask you all to have a big feast today Sept 22, 2003, in honor of my horse Scotty, who passed away a year ago today. He was skin and bones when he came to me. I promised him he would never starve again. So please join me for a hearty meal, and raise a glass for Scott. May he never go hungry again.

I love you Scott. I made it honey, one whole year without you. It seems like it was yesterday. Yet it seems like an eternity. I have accepted your passing and will go on in honor of your memory. You made my life more meaningful than ever before. I love you...I love you...love you

"One More Day"- Diamond Rio

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished
For one more day with you

One more day
One more touch
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
It would leave me wishin' still
For one more day with you

I went to the store and will make a feast tonight and eat it and think of Scott. I will say a prayer for him, and for you, too...

Saki and Freyjas Mom,
Scotty and I thank you for honoring his life.
And thank you all who took a moment to remember my boy.
I went to his gravesite today and spread flowers all over
his grave. I touched up the lettering on his tombstone
and lit a candle at 1:00 (the time the vet arrived
to put him down last year), and I feel that I am now at peace
with him. I really wanted to do this, I send out my thanks
to all the people in this world who helped me get through
365 days without him. Thank you, you know who you are.
