When I got my make a wish I was just 10 years old. I wished for a palomino pony. I have always loved palominos (cream body with white mane and tail). The make a wish was not able to find a palomino and I got a bay. I named her Penny. Penny was pregnant and a month after I got her she had a filly. I named her Princess was Sorrel.Well I decided to breed Princess the year before I got really sick because Princess was turning 17 and I knew I would need another horse soon. So we bred Princess in 2006. Horses gestation is like a whole year.
Spring of 2007 was when I took a turn for the worse. I was put on 24/7 oxygen and was told I only had months to live. I remember sitting out by the pasture with my oxygen, early in the mornings watching Princess, rubbing her HUGE belly and hoping my new baby colt would come soon. Shortly after my life seemed to be shattered with the news of my 'short life ahead' Princess had her baby. I was actually in Salt Lake City the day she was born. I had just been through an initial appointment where I was rejected as a transplant candidate. The timing was impeccable. It was just what I needed to bring my spirits up. When I saw her for the first time I couldn't believe it! After waiting my entire life I finally had my Palomino. Pixydust was absolutely the one thing I wanted to live to enjoy. I knew the moment she came into my life that I was not going to die. It's crazy maybe, but she was my sign, my gift from Heavenly Father promising me that I had more life to live. The happiness that she has brought me is such a blessing and every time I ride her I thank my Donor. My Donor gave me back my life!
