TO THE VET --who put 'My Beau Lyncho' down:

        "It has taken me a year and a half to today, December 29, 2001, --to hear the words, effects of the words, --that I have placed in the minds of others, --by my own 'feelings' and 'emotions'.  I have expressed them honestly!

        Someone mentioned to me over the past months, that this vet, probably had a hard time getting over that experience herself.  Well, --I do not know that.  I do not know 'if' there was ANY compassion at that time.  I can honestly say, that I pray, that she will NEVER put a horse down like that again.  I am saddened to remember that a horse appeared to just be a big horse, that could do something 'stupid' when she put him down.  She was afraid of getting hurt, herself.  That big horse was so very kind.  He appeared tough!  He was not!

        This is 'still' difficult for me to write. I hesitate with more tears.

        I wish, that in my life, I could help people to understand who the horse really is.

        I wish, that I could teach others --the depth of love that was and is shared with this animal.  I have asked often, lately, --'Why can't people just love?'  Why, --so many opinions, and judgment calls, --and yes, --I too have been guilty of this, --and for that, --I am ashamed.

       I am learning much lately.  Learning what I could not learn before, because I was so overwhelmed with way too much work, and responsibility.  I have given myself the time to heal, and to 're-consider' my words and actions.

      I will continue to be honest with you.  I can not yet forgive you, but I can finally begin to understand that you may be sorry for your actions also.

      It is my prayer, that you learned  to have more compassion --for the horse, and also --for the owner, who may appear to be handling things well.  This could be the biggest decision the owner has had to make in over 21 years, and it could effect her, for the rest of her life.  PLEASE, do not EVER forget that.  Please, be kinder, in a horses final minutes with their owner.

      It is also my prayer, that I can one day face you to ask you why you did what you did, --the way you did, and if you learned anything by it. 

     I am 'almost' to the point of leaving all this on the doorstep of the Father.  My heart is slowly healing.  Without my my Faith, and Belief in God, I could never forgive, but I know, this is something that I must do soon, --very soon.

To not forgive others, --is to keep the Love of the Father, --on the 'other side of the door.

In RESPECT to ALL who have suffered, in the events of 9-11-2001,

I know that I 'must' forgive you, not next month, or next week,

---but right now!

I too need to be freed from the events of the past.

I pray for you, that you also, can find your own freedom, --in being 'forgiven'.

Rose Foreman, ---and so it is!  12-29-2001

May God Bless ALL that have experienced inner pain and suffering,

---with the Peace, --and Love that awaits them

by knowing ---WE ARE 'ALL' FORGIVEN...
