Patric Saunders, an 87-year-old man with a lifelong love for horses, had one final wish: to see a horse before he passed away. As he entered hospice care, his family and caretakers went above and beyond to make this dream come true. They reached out to a local equine rescue center, and soon, a beautiful horse was brought to Patric’s side.
The surprise visit was a deeply emotional moment for Patric, who was overjoyed to spend time with the animal he had always adored. His daughter shared with Today, “It was just a lovely, lovely experience.”
Sadly, Patric passed away just four days later, but the memory of that special moment with the horse remains a cherished one for his family. It was a reminder of the simple joys and connections that bring comfort in life’s final moments.
