Its my first night to sleep here at home since you've passed....and I find myself unable to go to bed.

You're not here for our nightly "bed of lettuce" joke as I settle you for the night with lettuce to keep you hydrated. I rattle the cheerio box - only to remember - my "Cheerio Guy" is gone. It was so hard this morning to split a banana - and remember you weren't here to have a piece.

Miss Bea isn't taking this well at all. She even let DAD reach out and pet her today - for several minutes. Can you believe it? She let me pet her too - but she did thump me off later...

I always saw myself as "Tiny's Mom".....but sometimes I forgot that I was your mom too. I mean....I thought nothing would be harder than losing Tiny - after all the hours we spent together in the office.

I forgot about how hard it would be to lose you.....how you wouldn't be here to take a nap with....how I wouldn't have you to share a morning banana with. So many times I'd walk out of the office to the kitchen to go check on you. You were the first bunny I looked at in the morning and the last one at night (and that was if you didn't sleep in my arms).

I sat and watched this video tonight about 5 times.....crying the whole time. I want you back so badly....I think of the times I resented you taking so long to eat or drink....maybe it wasn't often. But I'd do anything now to have you back again to take up my time. Your illness turned out to be a gift to me - a gift to us.

I miss you so much....I can't even begin to express it. As angry as I was at Tiny for leaving - I think I'm angrier at you. You weren't supposed to leave yet....I'd just told you that we were beyond the point of counting holidays...that you'd pretty much made it through. In fact - your fur was so soft and awesome....and you'd put on weight.

For the last week or two - Robin kept remarking to me about how you didn't look so good. Why didn't I heed her and spend more time with you? It isn't as if I didn't spend time with you - I did. But I didn't spend enough time....but is there ever enough time?

Here are your pictures and video. I so wish I had more of you - maybe I do somewhere...

I love you New Hope. Binky free - as angry as I am at you - I'm so happy that you're free of your earthly sick body..

We always fall the hardest for the 'underbuns', especially those who are ailing. And the constant contact through the nursing process promotesan evenstronger bond -- the heart holds them close, even though the brain warns us to hold them at arms length. Those can bethe saddest of the losses.

My heart goes outto you. :hearts

I am certain that New Hope understands and forgives your anger (fromhis spiritual,pain-freeperspective:rainbow. He knows that, with time, your anger will give way to smiles overthe fond memories made with him. :hug:

Pain dies (thankfully); love goes on and on and... :hearts:

Thank you so much for that picture Stan. I will probably have it printed on a mug or a picture to hang above my desk....

 

[TinysMom]

This actually applied to three of my losses.....so I'm posting it in all three...thanks Zin for posting it...


So this is where we part, My Friend,

And you'll run on around the bend, Gone from sight but not from mind,

New pleasures there you'll surely find.

I will go on, I'll find the strength,

Life measures quality, not its length.

One long embrace before you leave,

Share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,

But they be they and they aren't you.

And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought

Will remember well all you've taught.

Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,

The fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.

And as you go to your final rest,

Take with you this -- I loved you best.

Oh New Hope - I miss you so bad right now - I can't believe you're been gone two weeks already - it feels like forever.

I don't know how many times I've grabbed a banana or lettuce to take into the bedroom and give you - only to remember once more - you've left.

I watched a movie last night and held Hefty in my arms. He may become my tv/movie buddy for a bit - but it wasn't the same as you. Oh - he was ok - he sat there and let me pet him and he loved it. But it was YOU that I wanted - you were such a snuggler.

I think I'm missing you so bad right now 'cause I'm scared - I go to the doctor in a little over an hour and I may have fractured a bone in my arm and I'm so scared of what they're gonna do. If you were here - I'd hold you and talk to you and you'd snuggle with me and I'd be less scared 'cause I'd know you'd be here for me when I got home.

You left me far too soon - but I guess at least I know you're not suffering anymore...I'm the one suffering.

I better close this - I need to cry some more and I can't see through the tears....

For what it's worth, I'd like to offer you my support regarding your doctor's visit. :hug2: I hope that it goes as well as can be expectedand that you receive whatever proper medical care you may require.

And, of course, I also offer you support (more :hug2 regarding New Hope's passing. As you've said yourself, you are now the one suffering. But try to find at least some peace knowing that your little guy is doing the Binky 500 with a countless number of other loving bunnies. He is free of earthly limitations, and I, in a sense, celebrate that fact--while crying tears for you, your sense of loss....:tears2:

Oh, Peg, your post brought tears to my eyes. RIP New Hope. You know he's in a much better place, already making another little bunny lover happy. I feel your pain...



*hugs*

 

[TinysMom]

As an update - no fractures.....just a lot of soreness (and some good pain meds I guess - I have yet to take them).

But I'm still missing New Hope so bad it hurts. I should've asked the doctor if he could give me pain meds for a broken heart....

Oh Cheerio - today was so hard for me. I was in the grocery store getting things and I was getting the oatmeal I mix into the food and thought, "I'm almost out of cheerios for the bunnies..." and I walked over to grab it - and reached out for the box - and burst into tears. I wasn't sobbing - but tears started running down my face. I couldn't even grab the box....all I could think of was dad calling you "Cheerio" and how I'd often hold you close and call you "Mama's cheerio" and stuff like that.

I couldn't do it....I just couldn't get the box right then. When another person entered the aisle, I turned and wiped my eyes ... and grabbed some fruit loops to bring home for treats. (Miss Bea will be ever so grateful).

You had me buying Cheerios all the time - and I still have your last box here - almost empty - but still here.

I miss you - I'd buy you all the cheerios in the store if only you were here to eat them.

I love you my Cheerio boy. I miss you.

And its funny how the nickname dad gave you - still makes me cry...
