I haven't know Sunny (Judy Bakker) all that long but we certainly have become very close and dear friends. She phoned my yesterday morning to console me on the loss of my mother..her words were a comfort as we both sobbed on the phone. Later in the afternoon, when I was completely wrung out, Judy phoned me again.
She was making entries for the AMHR Nationals and wanted the registration numbers of my 2 boys. Why??? Judy was entering the horses on my behalf so that if in September I am up to it, I can show!!!!!!!!!! What a true friend, to think ahead! She knew from our conversations that my mother was proud that I had 2 horses qualified and that we had planned on showing in Tulsa.
Judy told me on the phone " Your mom would be so proud of you at the Nationals, it didn't seem right that you would miss the show because you missed the deadline, so I am doing it for you!
OMG, I was absolutely floored, teary and elated. I KNOW by September things will be back to some sort of normalcy, and I WOULD want to go to Nationals, and my dearest friend Judy has made it possible.
Showing horses (actually having horses) was a gift from my mother, she was the one that guided me all these years. So when I get to Nationals, just standing in the ring will be a tribute to her. She will be right there beside me, "telling" me what to do (she was a GREAT rail person!!!)
From the bottom of my heart, thanks to my "little ray of sunshine on a dark day" Judy Bakker.
