A dying cowboy wanted to see his horse one last time and the moment was heartbreaking.
55-year-old Kevin Adkins from Wichita wanted to see his horse of 27 years, Vic, one last time before dying.
Kevin expressed his desire to his 26-year-old daughter, Delaney Adkins and she made sure his wish was fulfilled.
Delaney said: “On his dying days he let me know the most important to him was his PKD.”
Kevin boarded Vic at D&J Ranch. He truly loved his horse and it was a family member to him.
Jennifer Wadley of D&J Ranch said: “They’ve been partners for all these years.”
“It could be pouring rain, it could be snowing, it could be hotter than heck. He was always here.”
After battling cancer for 3 years, Kevin knew he had only a few days or months left. He wanted to see his beloved horse one last time.
Kevin would spend all his time with his beloved horse Vic and his daughter Delaney.
Jennifer said: “Take the time to brush him, pick his feet and spend time with him, and that went on every day.”
Kevin also went for a trip to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas with his daughter.
His daughter said they made great memories together before his health deteriorated.
Delaney said: “It’s like the Super Bowl (for) cowboys. I could tell he was hurting, but he cowboyed up and we made some great memories together.”
Once he was admitted to a hospital, he expressed his last wish to see his beloved horse.
After he was moved to hospice care in his sister’s house, Kevin and Vic met to say a final goodbye.
Jennifer said: “I think he knew. I think what was so moving was watching Kevin with his horse. He lived for his horse. It was very moving.”
The heartwarming video of Kevin and Vic’s emotional meeting was posted online and left everyone teary-eyed.
