    I also still have a place for her in my heart. She was once my fiancee, loving Laura the pony. But duties of compassion took precedence and my betrothed galloped to the stable doors of Bridles of Hope, so that people like Don could be comforted during his darkest hours. It was better that way, for I could not afford a wedding ring for her tender hoof.
    Still, if I can just also ask that you tell Laura I love her too, and for her not to cry, as my love for her will never die.
    And perhaps, just perhaps, once in a while, when Laura and Don are visiting a chapel, or when Laura wakes up each morning, she might say a little prayer for me.
