Today marks the one year anniversary of when I had to have Chico, my gelding, euthanized because of colic.
Rest in peace, little man....you are not forgotten. Chico, you were the man! Right up until an hour before we put you to sleep, you were still doing your tricks for everyone, even though you were in so much pain. I still love you so much!
And the lyrics to the first song I heard on the radio while we were bringing his body back home....
"And I go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now "Only The Good Die Young" stops me in my tracks
Everytime I hear that song,
I go back...."
- Kenny Chesney "I Go Back" (from the album "When The Sun Goes Down")
To this day, I still get a tear in my eye everytime I hear this song. It was MONTHS before I could even listen to it. If I heard it come on, I'd have to change stations.
