Piecing...gosh this is hard ll

[WCW]

an2, I have a mare that we almost lost year, she is very special to us. This will be her last year with us, H recently shared with me how he would like her final time to be handled. He cried, we cried.
It's so odd, I feel like there are things that tie him to me and he struggles so hard to cut those ties to me. Yet, he says I should make my plans to travel and I can count on him to take care of things at home while I am gone. He comes to all my family stuff again. It's like H wants the life we created together but without me in it.
Pretty confusing, and if it confuses me it must be even worse for H!
It is great all the nice things you are hearing from your H, it must feel very good. Have you heard of 'soft feel' in horse training? That's what I think is taking place with your H and mine too maybe. The rope is in our hands but there is plenty of slack and they can feel that the other end of the rope is where they can be secure, they just have to learn to trust it.
