I included him in an essay the Peaks, Plateaus and Canyons Association asked me to write for their 100th year anniversary of the Park Service issue, but that was nonfiction.

You went beyond writing a novel, you wrote a love poem regarding the love, respect, and quality of time you and Farside shared. May you sometimes see him reflected in the sunsets, hiding in the white puffy clouds that float across the Colorado skies, and always feel the love when you gaze upon the beautiful painting whether you literally or symbolically light a candle. <br />Kayenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608134443246627504.post-68200091409193265452015-11-05T09:04:39.953-07:002015-11-05T09:04:39.953-07:00Dear Page,

But what a beautiful way for him to depart, with your love and attention and that of your friends, and Dominica giving him a last "farewell." How absolutely beautiful.<br /> <br />And that your "final scene might show me lighting a candle the next night and sitting on the floor beside the painting, as only hours earlier I had knelt beside Farside, cradling his head in my arms." Gosh, that brought tears to my eyes...so tenderly and sensitively put.<br /> <br />A special pal now departed. A special pal whose life, I get the impression, was enhanced by being part of your life. And your life having been enhanced by having him in it...to have even carried you to your marriage to John! How really special!<br /> <br />But, again, my condolences on the loss of such a special part of your life.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608134443246627504.post-90727408630595766692015-11-05T09:02:48.852-07:002015-11-05T09:02:48.852-07:00Do write that novel.

I'm honored that I got to meet Farside and ride beside you and him a few times surrounded by that glorious Wyoming landscape. Our horses connect us to a very spiritual and present part of ourselves that only horse people are blessed to be acquainted with. I believe they bring forth our best and truest parts. I'm sending you much love, healing energies and courage that you know Farside would want you to have going forward in your days. Be strong, but allow the grief, and the ache of missing him. xxoo --Sarah RayThe Ordinary Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02279842842039286448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608134443246627504.post-31162421500429305752015-11-04T15:03:18.754-07:002015-11-04T15:03:18.754-07:00I am so sorry for your loss, Page.
