Hello LucysMommy,
I just saw this little love on Minda's page about Elf's passing. I can understand how you fell so deeply in love with this little angel! She is too precious and adorable for words to describe her.
One thing I found out through the years is that it doesn't matter if you have your babies 14 years or 14 days, the loss of them is just as devastating, if not - even worse when it's only 14 days because it feels like you were robbed and never really got to know your baby.
You did the best you could and the most important thing than anything else is that Lucy knew love before she died. She had more than most rabbits do - she had a name, a family, love, comfort, and security. She knows of your tears and your sadness.
I'm truly deeply sorry for your loss. I know how painful it is when one you love is severed from your life. It takes a special person to love the way you do and rest assured, Lucy knows how adored she was. I'm sorry she couldn't stay, but I'm so happy she had such richness from your heart and the life you gave her while she was in body.
When you see a little white fluff run by through the room by the corner of your eye...you'll know you have been visited. Until you are able to be with her again, the man in my avatar, who's name was Carl Lewis was a real rabbit lover, and will keep her in his tender loving care while she's in Heaven and in between visits to your loving home. She loves and appreciates you more than you know, but someday, you'll be reunited again and as the bridge poem says, you'll never be apart again.
With sincere sympathy,
Carolyn
