Jim the horse

This dear horse is loved. His name is Jim. Seth fell in love with him when he was less than 2 years old. Every time we went to Grandpa Holder's he had to visit Jim...not any of the other horses, or the dogs...just Jim. Last summer grandpa sold Jim because they were/are planning to move soon and let's be honest, horses are a lot of time and money. Anyway, a certain 2 year old (at the time) was pretty sad. We thought he would forget about him though. Ummm...more than 6 months later, that hasn't happened yet. Anytime we talk about Grandpa Holder, he asks about his horses and about Jim. After a weekend at Grandpa's house (I'm sure repeatedly asking about Jim) he was sent this picture and it is now printed and hung on our fridge. This morning he went over to it and told me, "Jim really misses me" -- "yes, I'm sure he does buddy" -- with tears in his eyes, he looked up at me and said, "I miss him too."
