Please pray for Josi

[kathysboxer]

Staci and Brian, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for you. I just happened upon your postings, and cried my eyes out. You are all an inspiration and the things Josie has taught me are astounding. I put my dog down a year ago July, I am now almost at the point where I can think of him without crying. You have given Josie such a wonderful life and I know without a doubt she is at the bridge playing and patiently waiting to run with you and daddy again. May you find piece and know that she knew how much you both love her. I will keep you both in my prayers, and Tyson sends his love and kisses and hugs.

I have missed you'll so much I can not begin to even explain...of course I am once again crying as I type this. Please let me first thank whoever requested Josi's thread to be moved to the Rainbow Bridge, it is a touching tribute to her fight and love of our Warrior Princess...thank you from the bottom of my heart. Life is still real hard without my baby girl around, the tears still flow and I can hardly say her name or see her face without getting sad, but I do have happy thoughts of our time together that bring some smiles. I find myself coming on here and wanting to post and then I get emotional and shut down, but I am determined to get over that b/c I miss you'll dearly and I know Josi would want me to be communicating with her Boxerworld buddies

I know exactly what you mean about the posting routine...for 7 months it was with great joy to post daily sometimes many times to post the ups and downs of our journey. I miss that beyond words, but I know that I can help others with all the knowledge that I gained from Josi's numerous health ailments. Please forgive my absence I owe so many of you my sanity over the past year...you were and still are my strength, support, and love.

With much love,
Staci ~ Josi's Mommy

There is not a day goes by since Jack went to the bridge that I don't think about him and cry. I know how hard missing Josi is for you and I hope that someday soon you will be able to come here without tears. Hugs to you.

Staci, so happy to see your post today. I have no great words of wisdom, losing someone you love just hurts. I have missed seeing your posts, and am still sending prayers thoughts and of course (((((((wiggles))))))))) your way.

Hi Staci.
I know the pain you have been going through.
We lost our 3 1/2 yr old Quincy unexpectedly in June. It has been very hard for me these past 3 months. I joined BW shortly after we lost Quincy. I found being part of BW has helped so much.
I feel like I am part of a very caring group of friends who truly share in our experience when we are going through a tough time.
I am happy you have returned to BW and posted again. It is a very long healing period when we lose our precious babies.
I am sorry for your loss of Josi. I did read your story and can't imagine going through what you did. You had a precious girl. You were so lucky to have her in your life for the time you did, and she you.
My thoughts are with you.

Dear Staci, I'm so glad to see your post - we think of you a lot, as you can see, and hope that you are managing each day OK. Josi's passing has been a great loss for you, and it will take time for you to get your bearings, your own time. When my Grunt Boy passed on, it hurt so very bad. I don't think any of us who have lost beloved babies ever really gets over it. Coming here really helped a lot, and still does. Know that we are here for you, and hope to see your posts when you are ready. Sending lots of hugs, thinking of you and always remembering The Warrior Princess.

I am so glad to see you post again. I've been wondering how you and your husband are doing. Ms. Josi touched the hearts of everyone at B.W. She was a real trooper. I know no amount of words can ease your pain. Please know that I won't forget you in my prayers and I know you have an angel in heaven that's watching out for you. Take care and hugs to you both.

Just wanted to drop in and see how all my Boxerworld buddies are doing I know the Warrior Princess is looking down from above nubbing me to get back on here and get involved. It is still so very hard for me to even get through a day without breaking down, let alone coming on here brings so many mixed emotions up...but please know that I miss you all dearly and will try to get back online. I miss everything about my daily seven months of postings on Boxerworld and I would go through the entire journey again if I could just see my sunshine again for one more day. Please give all your babies a big hug and a kiss for me

Please give all your babies a big hug and a kiss for me

Will do and they send lots of sloppy kisses and Boxer wiggles to Josi's mom. Glad to see your post this morning. Sending prayers of strength your way. Grief has no time limits but one day sweet memories will finally outnumber the sadness and hurt. It doesn't feel like it ever will but all of a sudden that awful constant ache in your heart will lesson and you will smile more often. I think of you and your sweet Princess everyday. Know that you and your little family have touched the lives and hearts of so many. And it means so much to have shared this truly remarkable journey with you, the ups and downs, the triumphs and tears. Thank you, you are a very special person.
