It’s been five years…

[Binkles]

Wow you guys, today marks the five-year anniversary of when I lost my precious Baby Binkles. 

 

Five years, holy crap. ._. I still miss her like crazy. There are only two things in my life that will instantly make me cry. This is one of them. I hadn’t watched her memorial video in quite some time. (Because I don’t usually want to become a blubbering mess!) However, today I convinced myself to. Oh my God…..the things I had forgotten…….

 

Painfully enough, one of my biggest sorrows the day I lost her was that I would inevitably forget all the subtle nuances. All of the little things…

 

One of the things that I made an explicit point not to forget, however, and was this little saying we had with her. So if you will excuse me…..’bunny language’ ahead…

 

I would come to my Mom all excited -“MOMMY MOMMY GUESS WHAT?!?!?!????!??”

Mom: “What? What??”

Sarah: “I’ve got a widdle-baby Binkle-Bunny!”

Mom: “Awwwwww.”

Sarah: “AND GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT?!!?!?!??”

Mom: ??????

Sarah: “GUESS WHAT SHE DID!??! She TOLD me she was a widdle bunny!”

Mom: *Gasp!* “She did!?!?! What did she say!?”

Sarah: “She DID! She really did that!! She said: “Mommy???…..I A WIDDLE BUNNY!!”

“And I went: “I know widdle Binkles, you my widdle Binkle-Bunny!” “

“And then, you know what happened? She said: “I MUBV YOU!!” “

“And then I said: *Gasp!* “Well I mubv YOU a whole, whole mot!!!” “

“And then SHE said: “Well I mubv YOU a whole, WHOLE, whole mot!!!” “

“And then I said: *gasp!*  ”Well I mubv YOU a whole, whole, WHOLE, WHOLE MOT!!!”

“And then, I KISSED her! And then she kissed ME! And then WE SNUGGLED!!!!”

“(We did, we really did that.)”

That is beautiful! <3 Losing Merlin this week has made me go back and look at photos of my angel bunnies and shed a few tears myself. We never forget our buns because they take a piece of our hearts with them.

Hi Binkles…. It’s good to see you again! What a beautiful memorial for your bun…

It’s crazy how time passes. I do believe that time helps to heal, but that hurt is always still there.

For me, the loss is always there, and fresh loss brings up the feelings for everyone who has gone before.

My puppy will have been gone for 3 years in December. If I allow my thoughts to wander to him, or see a dog that resembles him, or look thru pictures, I am instantly heartbroken.

What I wasn’t expecting tho were the days following when we lost Max (our lop bunny) at the beginning of June. While grieving for Max, I would find my thoughts constantly moving to my dog as well. It felt like I had just lost them both. It felt… so fresh.

*****Hugs***** It is incredible how fast time seems to fly. You’ve obviously kept Binkles memory alive in your heart and she will always be there until you are with her again.

I did not know Binkles, but she sounded like such a sweet little bun bun. =)

It is hard to believe it’s 5 years but I’m not surprised you still feel the loss keenly at times. Grief, I’m learning, is a very strange thing.

It was nice to see this commemorative post and be reminded of sweet little Binkles.

Oh Sarah *squishes*
I know what you mean about the forgetting. I wonder if it is what we must to do survive the loss. Sad, but necessary in some cases.
I’ve never forgotten your ‘widdle bunny’ conversation and whenever I think of it, it warms my heart.
I cannot believe it’s been five years. It doesn’t seem like that at all. But I know her love for you has not dampened all this time, nor yours for her. For that reason, she is never really gone. ((((((Hugs)))))
I have also missed your posts. Feel free to PM me at anytime if you wish. Would enjoy hearing what you’ve been up to lately. Thinking of you. xxxx
