My Angel

When I was young I lost one of the dearest things to me and to this day I've never got over it. My horse. He died of cancer and i watched him deterioriate over the weeks before he died and for a 14 year old thats a lot to handle. Now 13 years on I still find it difficult to think of him without getting upset.
One day I was out in the garden with my boyfriend doing the gardening. I wasnt having a good day I'd been feeling very low and down for the past week. I decided 2 go in to the house and leave my boyfriend doing the gardening. I dug out my photo box where i keep all of my pics of my old horse and started looking through them. I was starting to get really upset and at my lowest point when I felt there was someone in the room with me and at the same time I got a very strong smell of horses. I moved the sliding door beside me where I was sat on the floor to see if anyone had come through the front door, (because as I still have horses and they are in the garden I thought someone had opened the door and thought thats why I could smell the horsey smell) but nobody had opened the door. Thinking nothing of it as the smell could easily be explained with having my horses so near to the house and it only lasted about a second I went back to my photo's, but the picture I had in my hand that I had been looking at only seconds before had a small white feather lay on the top. There was no way it had been there before because I'd been looking at it and before someone asks if I have a feather quilt or pillows no i don't. I've looked this up and apparently white feathers can be a sign from your angels. In the past I've had angel dreams about my horse. some people may think im stupid and think its only a horse!! but that horse was my baby and the whole angel theory helps me in a strange way. its a lovely thought to think our passed loved ones are now angels. I now have a tattoo of angel wings in memory of my muchly missed horse :(
