76 | When we lose a member of our barrel racing family. In memory of KM. Solo Deep Dive

Your wings were ready before our hearts were

I’ll never be able to understand it. “Why is it the good ones?” We ask.

Life just doesn’t play a fair game and we’re just these small humans trying to navigate life’s unruly nature of life, love and death.

Our control seems non existent in moments like this but even still, we do have some control.. How you treat others, how much Love you share, how easy it is to be kind, to follow your heart and pursue your passions in everything you do in life - Katie was a example of all those things.

You we’re raised with love and you gave it back to everyone you met, and we are so lucky to have known you in the short life you lived. Although short, your impact will remain at large.

Sending my love to everyone impacted by Katie’s sudden passing, I send prayers of comfort and love in these hard times and the times ahead. Katie’s missing piece will not be unnoticed, but we will do our best to celebrate our amazing times we were blessed enough to share with her.

Rest easy my beautiful friend and fellow barrel racing competitor of many many years.

 Moving forward, it will never be the same, that is the grief we all feel. I just want to say thank you for each and every one of you who opened your hearts. Not just in this time, but for the past 13 years I have been barrel racing. Thank you for the hugs and the laughs. Thank you for giving me something I can write about. I love our barrel racing family so much.
 
 Let’s never forget the reason why we are there, because we all love the same thing. Love brings us together and love helps us get through anything. Love yourself, love your competitors and love the reason why you are there.
