I never intended to write this post but today especially I miss both of my buns so much.
Unfortunately, Karam passed away this summer. He was 6 years old. Thankfully, he died at a moment where he was most happy. I wasn,'t there to witness the day he died, as I was on a trip and left both of my bunnies in the care of a close family friend who had given us the bunnies in the first place. She told me that he was hopping around and doing binkies outside on the lawn and the whole family was there and they had also taken all of the animals out. All of a sudden, she heard her rooster making a huge commotion and they knew something was wrong. That is when they saw that Karam, who looked like he had just layed down to rest had actually passed away.
I couldn't beleive it when she called and told me. I hadn't even said a proper goodbye and my heart was torn. I cried, remembering all the good times and experiences he gave me which I never would have known without him.
He was the most grumpy rabbit when he arrived. You couldnt get near him without a threatening grunt which usually ended up in a bite or scratch. I use to be so scared of him because I had never had any experiences with rabbits. But soon, he became family and I got used to all of it. I saw him transform for a grumpy, moody old man into the sweetest rabbit you would ever meet. The days that I would come home late from school he would be so angry and show that he disnt appreciate my leaving him all day. He had the silkiest fur ever and he was such fun to cuddle with, because even though he hated it, he would tolerate it for the longest while. He became so patient and so loving. He would lay down right next to me while I was doing my work and he was there when I had the hardest days at school. It would feel so nice to go back to him, to someone who cared. He would sense my sadness and come up to me and lick me. I will ALWAYS remember him for those days. He was always so happy and binkied around the whole place. He was such a baby, his eyes would always have eye boogers in them so I would always have to clean them out and there was nothing he enjoyed more than that. He was the sweetest most adorable creature I have ever come across and I always took him for granted. I hope one day in heaven I can ask for him again because I truly do miss him these days.
After karam passed, we let the woman who had been babysitting keep Iman. After karam death, she would not have any companion in my house, as everyone is out of the house for most of the day. There, she gets along with all the cats and is having a swell time. I go to visit her sometimes and it brings back so many memories. After I left, the lady called ad told me that iman had not been eating after my visit, however, she did get better after a few days. I am happy for her although I can't say I dont miss her, but it is what is best for her.
I dont know if anyone will read all of this or if it even makes sense because I dont have any time to reread it, but I thought I should write this to get it out and to recall all the good memories Karam and Iman have given me. No rabbit can ever take their places, and I hope Karam is up in heaven somewhere munching on a banana, his favorite food, and running through endless grassy fields. Forgive me for this jumbled, unstructured blob of words and thoughts.
I love you both, and thank you.
By the way, in the picture iman is on the left and she is 7 years old now. Karam is on the right.
