If Tomorrow Doesn't Come

On December 29, 2008 a very loved brother, son, and friend to the Mill Swamp Indian Horse family passed away. His name was Patrick Lido Edwards or better known as Lido.

Lido had a condition known as Cerebal Palsy. But he did not let this slow him down. With the help of his loved ones he was able to train himself to be stronger than alot of todays people. But what stood out the most was his spirit and personality. He was always smiling. When you saw him smile you couldn't help but smile. He would talk to you even if you were a stranger and you wouldn't mind a bit. He was never afrid to try something. Much of Mill Swamps colts and donkeys were broke by Lido.

If anybody needed help you could look to him to be the one to help them. He had a never ending love for horses and hunting. But no matter what if you needed a friend Lido was there.

It is very hard to believe that he is gone because he still follows us in our hearts. He is much the soul of Mill Swamp and that will not change.

The picture above is of an Ornimental Pear tree. It has just bloomed as Spring begins. But today it has snowed all day. And many of the blooms have frozen. They will die and a new seed will take their place and begin to grow. Ask yourself this, if tomorrow doesn't come was yesterday everything it could have been?

Many people do not live life to the full. If you are doing what you love and loving what you do as Lido did, than you are living your life the way you want to remember it by.

So maybe would should go bungee jumping, or play our music to an extent that makes the cops mad, and maybe even travel the globe. Or go ahead and jump on a Corolla and see just what they can do!
