A repost for my Daisy

For my Daisy who left me this morning. A friend for just 12 short years.

"Just a Goat"
From time to time, people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a goat," or, "That's a lot of money for "Just a goat."'. They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a goat." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a goat." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a goat,", but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have ben brought about by "just a goat," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a goat" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it's "just a goat," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a goat" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "just a goat" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because of "just a goat" I will rise early, take long walks, and look longingly into the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a goat", but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "just a goat" brings out what's good in me and diverts my bad thoughts away. I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a goat", but the thing tht gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a woman". So the next time you hear the phrase "just a goat" just smile, because they "just" don't understand.
