I don't think being able to say goodbye is always the ideal way for a person to go - maybe for the family, but not always them. How many people wish to die suddenly in their sleep? A lot. There's a blessing in not knowing. Ty dying suddenly in that moment, w/fleeting pain, was better to me. He didn't have to say anything. He expressed earlier how much he loved Amy & spent some of his final moments holding Lyndy & watching her join up with her horses - magical moment. He loved watching Amy work.
Speaking of, could you make a gif set of Ty watching Amy work with horses along with the quote of him saying he loves watching her work? I can't remember the full quote/the episode it's from but maybe someone remembers? Gif wise could include her showing him Spartan doing liberty work, her having that horse walk through fire, and of course that final join up scene, etc.?

I’ve thought about that too sometimes, how often people hope that there would have been a chance to say goodbye, and I can understand the idea behind that, but it’s like you said, it’s not always ideal, sometimes that can be even worse. How do you even let go, especially if the person dying is young and still in the middle of their life?
It’s a great point about Ty going basically when he’s the happiest - I mean, how many hope for that too, as backwards as that may be. Sure there’s always more to live, but at the same time it wasn’t the worst way to go. He wasn’t fighting with Amy like in season 3, for example, when then plane crash happened. That would have been even worse.
There’s this saying in Finnish (my mother tongue) that goes “you go with your boots on” and it basically means you die doing something mundane or something you love doing, and I think Ty definitely did that.
Sure, I can make a gif set like that. I think the quote you’re thinking about is when Spartan got hurt, and Ty said he fell for Amy when he saw her work with Spartan. I might need people’s help to come up with scenes of Ty watching Amy work, though! There’s few that come to mind, but any help is always welcomed, just to think a variety to choose from.
