In memory of a VERY special bunny girl:
“What is Dying?” – by Bishop Brent
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says, “She is gone.” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as when I saw her.. The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “She is gone,” there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout, “Here she comes!” … and that is dying.
My Flip-Flop, mommy’s sitting here, writing a tribute for you. HOW can that BE???? Please let me wake up from this nightmare….please tell me it was just a bad bad dream, and snuggle my face with that softest nose of yours!!! Please…
I am left to facts, facts I can’t change, and my heart is torn apart, whatever I do, whatever I think, I can turn it anyway possible, you are not here to look at me with those big eyes and give me a kiss! What shall I do? I can’t bear the pain, I want you back so much!!!
No reasons, no thought of comfort, only the shocking sight of your beautiful lifeless body, still whiter than white, softer than soft, but no head-bumps and watching out for cracker… Your BIG heart just stopped beating… no goodbyes….just see you again… and now my baby’s an angel – a real angel, with wings.
I will always be thankful for these two short years I had the honor to be your mommy! I’ll always love you with all of my heart…. forever and ever…and a day…..
Please look down on us, your furry friends will miss you too…you were ONE in a million, an angel with a heart of gold…hidden in a beautiful bunny’s body! But I knew…
Until we meet again, mommy’ll
never forget you, my sweetie….
P.S. Dear Lord, please keep my Floppy warm, she loves towels. She’ll never ask for anything, just make sure she gets a hug and joghurt drops she loves so much…until I’ll be with her again!
Love forever and ever and ever....
