Still missing you, Shin

[alate]

 It’s been a week since my bunny has passed and I’ve wanted to make a memorial for him here, but was too distraught then to be able to. It’s still difficult for me to cope these days; I think he’s managed to find his way into my heart so much that it’s hard to get used to the fact that he’s no longer around. 

I met Shin 1 year and 6 months ago. I hadn’t intended on getting a bunny because I’ve already lost one a couple of years prior and i never quite got over it. But as I was passing by a pet store during last minute christmas shopping, i saw about 6 bunnies all cooped up in a tiny cage. I felt really bad for them and wanted to save all of them but I knew that would be taking on too much. At one point I walked away because I thought if I could only keep one of them, the rest will still be there and continue to suffer. But as I walked away and tried to focus on finishing my christmas shopping, I just couldn’t seem to shake the idea off. So I went back to the pet store and told myself that I will just get one. It was a rather hasty decision but considering I had a bunny before, I was pretty confident that I would be able to take care of it. I went inside, held my hand outside the cage and only one bunny walked over from the other corner of the cage to sniff my hand. It was like he chose me, and so how could i possibly resist? So I took him home and the rest is history. ^^ It was amazing how quickly he got used to me; my first bunny was really independent and preferred to wander off on his own but Shin was doing binkies and asking for head rubs after two days ^^ And he’d do this really adorable thing where after a few minutes, he’d move his head away and just lick my hand, as if to say thank you. He’d stay in his cage while I was in school but by the time I go home, he just goes crazy and just manages to take all the stress away. I let him out of his cage for about 4 hours during the night and he’d spend a lot of that time exploring but when he gets tired of doing that, he flops down beside my feet or hops up on my day bed and lies over my books and my notes, demanding for head rubs again. He was an amazing little bunny and he put so much joy in my life. I miss the fact that there’s no one for me to feed anymore, or play with, or go on grocery trips every week to buy his greens. I hope I loved him enough, because he gave me so much love. I still miss you, little one, but like I told you while I was holding you in my arms as you passed, I’m going to try and be okay. Till we meet again and I hope you’re having fun up there with my other bunny, yunnie <3

What a beautiful bun. He was lucky to have had you in his life.

Sometimes these special little ones just pass through our lives like a bucket of love dumped on us, and then they are gone.
Shin was adorable, and he knew how much you loved him. That’s why he was so happy with you.
Binky free, little Shin.
