A Love Letter, April 20
As I am starting this day actually off to horse country. I find myself in tears and on my knees. The early morning prayer is mostly about you Baby Z Princess. As I find myself not only today, but going to a place in prayer to the good lord that I have not been before but I feel the presence of a real place. None of us have been to heaven, but I get a glimpse. I feel your presence there Baby Z along with the good lord. As I cry because I wish you were here. I know you are in a wonderful place. I think about how beautiful you were with those beautiful eye lashes and curly beautiful mane. You were a gift to us not only while you were on this earth but for always. I am so Thankful for your birth and for the good lord sharing you with us. So I have to stop crying because I know you are well. We all everyone of us have to exit this life and I will love you forever and forever. Hope to see You one day.

Dear Peggy (N),
Good morning, Waoh, I hope I’m able to see through my tears to finish writing this post. Very moving tribute, inspired and so heartfelt. Thank you. After she died, I was shell shocked to the point that I was numb and couldn’t cry!, all I could say was “God nooooooo”. Thank you for giving me an avenue to shed my unshed tears. I’ve still not been able to go back and look at her pictures. Maybe one day, today, thank you for reminding us of our beautiful Princess Z. May she continue to run free in Heaven’s green meadows until we all meet again. It is well,and again, Thank you. Have a wonderfully Blessed week as we all continue to pray for our first Prince Cozmic One’s good behavior and focus.
Still not found my phone. Z Nation, I need prayers! Help.
Max
Has that phone been located? Can relate to your woes. Not fun.

Dearest Max.
Good morning, I hope today finds us all in a better place emotionally after the tear jerker yesterday re ZPrincess’s memorial tribute. My phone was the least on my mind. It was nice that the beautiful gal was remembered on what would have been her first birthday. It was nice seeing that she touched so many people and that we will all always carry a torch in our hearts for her.
To your question about my phone, I think its gone and I don’t feel like I did not hear from God in the way of the miracle I had asked for. He works in mysterious ways and I know something good will come of this whole phone misfortune. It is well and thankyou so much for asking.
Wishing you and yours an awesomely Blessed day and week. It is always well at Z Nation.

Dear Sheena,
You’re very welcome. One couldn’t help but cry reading that beautiful tribute and watching the videos. She held so much promise. We didn’t have her nearly long enough. As you say, she is an Angel. Now she graces heaven. As does Elusive Kate. I will look for the pic her colt. It is very worrisome that we have had no news from Fubu. Monday is on due to chocolate chip bagels. So funny. I took off today and tomorrow for my birthday. Will relax and enjoy. Lunch today with a friend. Dinner tomorrow night with Steve. Have a good day. Love and hugs from me, kisses from Holly, Nikko and Sugar. Kathy.

Just finished reading some of the astonishing posts on both Coz and Shared Belief! First, GELD COZ!? He is barely three years old. I recall reading that Zenny was a real handful when she was young. One race and people want to change trainers? jockeys? balls? Yes, I admit I was so let down and that’s my own fault for letting my expectations get the better of me. He loaded in the gate, didn’t exactly break well but he made it through the race without losing his mind and throwing his jockey and running amuck. He will do better next time or however many times it takes him to figure it all out. I will be right there willing him on to a safe finish and cheering for him BECOZ he is our COZMIC ONE! Second, why do so many folks blame Mike Smith for everything that goes wrong? He took the blame for Blame! When he realized something was amiss with Shared Belief he pulled him up. That was the wise and experienced thing to do. That instagram photo of him carrying his tack says it all. He was distraught. I am referring of course to comments made on other sites. We are neither haters nor naysayers. Thank God.

Dear Vicki,
Goodmorning, I totally agree with everything you have said about our First Prince Cozmic One. He will figure out this racing thing and be a great race horse. All we have to do is keep the faith and the jewels. Again, thank you for your post and here’s wishing you an awesomely Blessed week, it is well always at Z Nation.
Max
I mentioned this idea of possibly gelding the young Coz at my office this am. The moaning and groaning was really loud and long. No way was said a lot. In fact it was universal. Tell this idea to most men and you get this reaction.
Coz, do not give up the treasure.

Dear Max,
Too, too funny. ‘Don’t give up the jewels’. I like that. Thanks,

Dear Judy B from Rhodes,

Sad news on the homefront. I have mentioned my brother #2’s hundred year old cat, Nizer before. (She wasn’t really 100) She was nineteen years old which is pretty darned astonishing. She spent the winter in the house with me but she always liked a nice long nap in the sun so she moved back in with George where she could mostly stay outside. She’d lost most of her hair and all of her teeth so she needed special treatment. She was grouchy and didn’t much like other cats or dogs or people. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge sometime during the afternoon. It seemed like she passed in her sleep because she looked totally peaceful. He will miss her and to be honest I will miss her too. If only all our beloved pets could lead such a long life.

Vicki, So sorry to hear about the loss of Nizer. Will pray for you and your brother’s loss. with love, Elizabeth
