The School of Life with Horses

A blog covering my journey with my quarter horses and paint horse. Horse show news from the Pacific Northwest, to do lists, horse tips as I learn and share them, my struggles and solutions - basically everything horse as I come across it.

I'm so sad - this just can't be

 



Stephanie Russel 1990-2009

I lost a dear friend and loved one today - I will be gone for a bit. I lost my friend Stephanie - whom I have featured on this blog. She was the one I took pictures of last summer ( see post called "What's in a Cowgirl") - she was the sweetest, nicest , most beautiful kid in the world with so much going for her (recently she won a couple of scholarships to pay her way through school) I am just so freaking heartbroken.....

She went on vacation with her boyfriend following High School Graduation, it was a scuba diving accident. I had just sent her a box of college supplies and a graduation present - the best I could afford. And she sent me a message on Facebook, last night telling me how much fun she was having, by the time I read it this morning she was gone.....


My Little Girl - Tim McGraw

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You’ve had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born

Beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again. Go on take on this whole world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile would melt my heart of stone
Now look at you I’ve turned around and you’ve almost grown
Sometimes your asleep I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away I hear you say “daddy love you more”

Beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again. Go on take on this whole world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl

Someday some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won’t say yes to him unless I know
He’s the half that makes you whole
He has a poets soul
And the heart of a mans man
I know he’ll say that he’s in love, but between you and me
He won’t be good enough

Beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again. Go on take on this whole world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl

OH, HONEY! I am SO sorry to hear that! That is just too heartbreaking. She's my son's age...I can't imagine what her poor mother must be going through right now.

So sorry.  I saw your pictures of her before.  She was a beautiful young woman.  May God comfort and guide you during this difficult time.

About inclined2ride

Live up in Northeastern Washington State - where its cold and we have snow for a loooooong time. Been riding horses since before I could walk - grew up doing the 4-H / FFA thing, and a lot of Open shows. Was educated in Western riding as well as English riding and Jumping. Survived college on Top Roman so that I could keep my horse up there with me. Am now all grown-up with a non-horse husband, and 3 horses to boot (technically 2 horses). I currently show on the local and regional Quarter Horse Circuit with a Paint Show thrown in when I can. Horses are as much a part of me as my arms or legs.
