Dear Mr. Poppy,

I lost you today unexpectedly. I wish I had time to say bye. To kiss you one last time. To hug you. To tell you I loved you. But unfortunately I couldn’t. You caught a bacteria and I was away. It was so fast and you just turned 3 years old. I don’t want to remember you with sadness. Thank you for all the lessons you taught me. You taught me how to be independent. How to care for an animal without help from a parent. You eased my loneliness in a new apartment in a new city. I loved cuddling up to you and feeling your whiskers on my face. I loved seeing you flop on your side when you were really comfortable. You were a pain in the butt sometimes, but it makes me laugh thinking about your mischievous self. One of my favorite memories is when you binkied on my bed for 5 minutes straight. Right now, I have a hard time thinking about you without tears. But one day, I will remember you with happiness. I’m glad your suffering was short and that you are in a better place. I am thankful you hold no resentment, grudge, bitterness….You are just an innocent bunny who lived a good life even if it was too short. I look forward to seeing you in heaven. I love you so much. Thank you again for the laughs and the love. 

Forever love,

Your Human Mother.
