losing Jodi

[sundial]

Thank you everyone for your kind words of support and comfort. It has really touched me and sustained me in this difficult time. I feel privileged to be a part of this fellowship.

I am spending more time with Niki and Kali, enjoying and savoring the moments that they treasure so--long walks, an early morning sunrise, running through mud puddles, the sound of crickets at the close of another day. I go to where she lay and together we share our special moment together. A young mockingbird watches over her and it brings me comfort. I see the last of the blackberries of the season drop and a hummingbird moth flutters by, in search of the honeysuckle nectar. The summer comes to a close as a new chapter begins. I am content in spite of my loss.

Sundial, you write beautifully. I say again... bless you for being such a good guardian. Jodi was a lucky girl to have been with you during her life.

Sundial, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

Sundial... you really do write beautifully.

Sundial -

I don't know you, being fairly new to this forum...but I know how you feel and I extend my sympathy to you. I lost my 16 yr. old Lab, Concho, two summers ago and my heart aches for the loss you are feeling. I wish I had some words of comfort for you, but I know (as well as many others on here) that nothing helps the pain...just know you are in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time.
