It has been nearly two months since you left me on November 24, 2006, Ruth. I still miss you so very, very much, girl, and often
I cry when I think of you.
Searching for some little hope
to relieve my pain,
I found in-memory-of-pets.
It helped me so much.
Without my darling, I needed something to remember you by, so I decided to get another bunny just like you. He will look just like you and his name will be Boaz. I think you would like that.
I am getting Boaz next month.
When I look at him, I promise
I will think of you.
You will live on in Boaz, Ruth darling.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas with Jesus celebrating his birth. Happy New Year to you and the people that read this for me!
I won't forget you, Ruth.
