Dearest Hermy,
It's been 3 weeks and 5 days. We miss you terribly, Hermy. We love you so much!
Hermy, baby Hermy. We do not understand why you are not with us anymore. We just cannot grasp this new reality. I cannot grasp this. Am I in denial? Probably. Am I confused? Definitely. How could you be gone? I just don’t understand.
Harry just eats and sleeps. He doesn’t even pretend to want to socialize with any of us anymore. He is thinking of you always. I can tell. You can see it in his eyes, Hermy. He misses you so much and loves you even more. You are his one and only, the love of his life. Poor Harry.
Albus is just angry all the time. If he’s not scowling at everyone here, he’s chewing even more holes in my comforter and sheets. He’s ripping up the newspaper into a thousand little pieces. You know your brother. Always the loner. Now the angry loner. He misses you. You two were together every single day since you were born. You understood him best. Without you, he is lost. Poor Albus.
As for me, Hermy, I am just going through the motions during the day. I feel nothing but sadness and longing for you. When I come home, I long to see your furry little face greeting me again. I’m taking care of Harry, Albus, and Ron, but I really long to take care of you again. I long to hold you, kiss your furry nose, and carry you in my arms everywhere around the house.
I’m saddest at night, because that’s when you used to visit me on my pillow. I could always tell that you were trying not to wake me. You would sit next to my head, look at my face, and then start licking my nose before you cleaned the rest of my face. I would pretend to be asleep, but I used to take little peeks at you while you groomed me. Once you felt that my face was finally clean (to your high standards), you would start grooming my hair, combing and trimming as you saw fit. Thank you, Hermy. I’m honored that you loved me so much that you groomed me as a rabbit, as your equal. Thank you for elevating your human mommy to bunny status! Thank you for showing me such affection, my love! I hope, while you were here on Earth, you felt the tremendous, limitless, unconditional love and affection I felt for you and still feel for you (and will always feel for you). I hope that you feel my infinite love and affection for you forever and ever and always.
Please know, my Hermy Mermy, that I will always miss you and love you and that I will see you again one day. I hope you can feel my love and all my hugs and kisses. I hope you can also feel Harry’s and Albus’s love that is bursting from their hearts every moment of every day.
We love you, Hermy! Have a wonderful night and many sweet dreams!
Forever missing you,
Your Bunny Mommy and Harry, Albus, and Ron
Full Version: My Precious Hermione "hermy"
Dearest Hermy,
It's been 4 weeks. 4 long, miserable weeks without you. I miss you and love you so much!
Oh, baby Hermy. I hope you are well and happy. I hope you can see and hear us here. We are thinking of you all the time, every minute of every day. I got up very early this morning and lit candles for you and Trevor and all your friends. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine holding you again in my arms. I miss feeling your furry little body resting on my shoulder and your little twitching nose tickle my ear. I thought about the times we shared your favorite foods. You love eating. Your aunt says that's your motto: "Eat well, Eat frequently, Eat everything, and Live life to the fullest!"
I am so very sad without you. Everywhere I look and everywhere I go, people are laughing and smiling. I am crying on the inside. When I come home, I start crying outright. Everyone is planning for their visit here next Sunday, Christmas Day. I just want to be alone. I don’t want to bake cookies. I don’t want to have dinner together. I don’t want to see anyone. I don’t want to talk to anyone. I want to be left alone. I don’t want to fake having a good time, when on the inside I’m dying. No one cares. They are all happy.
I just want to be with you, Hermy. I just want to hold you and kiss you. I want to talk to you. I want to give you Cheetos and ice cream. Oh, Hermy. I just want you back. What can I do to see you again?
Please know that I love you more than anything in the world. Please know that I’m sorry I didn’t take you to the vet sooner. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you. Oh, Hermy. Please know that I only wanted the best for you. I wanted you to be happy here with me. I hope you weren’t suffering here with me. I really wanted you to have the best home and the best life I could give you. I would do anything now to have you back.
Thank you for giving me the honor and privilege of taking care of you and simply being with you for almost 3 1/2 years. Thank you for choosing me as your mommy. Thank you for embracing me as I am without qualifications, without conditions. Thank you for your unconditional love. I never felt sad or alone while we were together. It was truly heaven to spend every moment possible with you. I love you, Hermy, forever and ever. I will always love you, baby Hermy.
All my love and kisses! Good night, my Hermy.
Kisses forever,
Your Bunny Mommy

Dearest Hermy,
It’s Saturday, December 17, 2011. Almost 1 month since you left us. I miss you so much, my Hermy Mermy.
You are my baby, Hermy. You’ll always be my baby bunny. Only 3 ½ years old. You died too soon, too young. You left so suddenly. Did I not notice that you were sick? Why? Why did you have to go?
I’m so lonely without you. Are you here with me in Spirit? If so, I am very grateful, but I still long to hold you and touch your soft fur and see your beautiful face. I miss seeing you look at me with your inquisitive, sparkly eyes, so full of wisdom. We are soulmates, right, Hermy? You and me. Forever.
I’ve put up stockings for you this year. I’ve cleared out the nook above the fireplace for your memorial. I’m starting to fill it with your photos and mementos of your life. Nothing though will fill this emptiness in my heart. I cannot believe you’re not here. Some mornings I wake up expecting all of this to be a nightmare, expecting to see you there, next to Harry, grooming his ears like you did every morning. I wish I could serve you breakfast again. You loved the banana slices. I was washing lettuce this evening for Harry, Albus, and Ron’s dinner, and I started crying. I was thinking, “Oh, how I wish this lettuce was for Hermy!”
I wish I could give you fresh parsley for dinner again. I miss sharing our bedtime routine: scooping you up, hugging you, kissing your furry face, and saying goodnight. I miss your hopping onto my back when I’m on the floor playing with you. I really miss hearing the little sound you make when you’re excited. It’s indescribable. It sounds like a continuous squeak. Actually I think you were trying to vocalize your excitement and talk like a human. You did, Hermy, you did! I wish I had recorded your vocalizations. I’m so sorry I didn’t. I should have captured it on video. Oh, I have so many regrets, Hermy. So many.
I hope you can forgive me. For letting you down, for failing you, for not being able to keep you alive and healthy. I hope you can feel my enduring love for you. From the moment you chose me to be your Forever Mommy and this home your Forever Home, I have been bursting with happiness and love for you. Even now, I am happy for you because you are not suffering anymore, but I am crushed. I’m devastated. I cannot fathom this life without you. Only my love for you, my never-ending love for you, keeps me going day-to-day. I will never forget your expressions of love and affection. Thank you, Hermy. Thank you for showing me such affection and love. I am not worthy. Thank you for being in my life. You have forever changed my life. Never have I loved so deeply, so unconditionally. And never have I been loved so deeply and unconditionally. Thank you, Hermy. Thank you.
I will always love you, my dear, dear Hermy. I hope you can feel my hugs and kisses.
Forever and always yours,
Your Bunny Mommy

Dearest Hermy,
It's been exactly 1 month since you left us for the Rainbow Bridge. Oh, we love you and miss you so much, little Hermy.
I cannot believe it has been a month. We’re frozen in time. We cannot move forward or backward. We are still in disbelief, in denial that you're gone. We still look for you. We still hope to see you again. We still hope to touch you again.
Albus and Harry still sleep apart. They miss you! I noticed about 2 days ago that Harry is starting to groom Albus a little bit. Albus sits in the litterbox, and Harry grooms his head and ears. I haven’t seen Albus groom Harry yet. At least they are not fighting anymore. Hermy, they need you here. We need you here.
This morning, I bought you two dozen red roses! Roses for the love of my life—YOU, Hermy!!! It’s our 1 month angel-versary so I thought we'd do something even more special: red roses, candles, photos of you, and HAPPY memories of our time together. I'm still so very sad, but I told myself this morning that I will try not to cry today. I'll resume sobbing tomorrow.
I'm sending you warm hugs and a million kisses, Hermy. I wish I could send you a little care package full of Cheetos, fresh parsley, and honeycrisp apples. I hope to hold you again one day and never ever let you go. Until then, please know that I will always love you, my dear baby Hermy.
Forever yours,
Your Bunny Mommy Lisa and your bun-family Harry, Albus, and Ron

Dear Lisa and Hermy (and Albus, Harry and Ron),
We are wishing you a most blessed and peace-filled Christmas possible! We love all of you and know just how difficult the Eve and the Day will be. We share in your warm and wonderful memeories and hold your hearts in ours, so they don't break quite as much. We are thinking of each one of you and sending our love and thanks as best we know how.
Hermy (and Trevor) I sure would love to know how Christmas is celebrated in Heaven! It must be just so magnificent and yet so humble, just as the Christ Child was. You guys get to be with Jesus on His birthday! WOW! Be sure to gather all your family and friends, newbies and non-remembered creatures to join with the rest of the myriad of animals singing "Happy Birthday!" Oh, what I would give to hear that!
Dearest Lisa,
Please know that I am right beside you this entire time, no matter where you are physically. Give me at least some of the heartache and heaviness that must be crushing you. That way, you can use THAT energy to remember the wonderful things you and Hermy shared together and you will have some smile-time. That is the gift I would like to give you this year. Also, don't hold back if you need to weep or talk or be silent in thought. That is a very special gift to Hermy and yourself. One that only the two of you can share.
THANK YOU for the magnificent letters that you faithfully wrote to Trevor, even when you couldn't find the strength to write to Hermy (or maybe you wrote them togetther.....I haven't been to Trevor's site yet tonight.) These letters are the greatest gift you could ever give to me and I treasure them completely and forever.
I will wish you all a Merry Christmas because Hermy will provide some merriment for you. I will go to the cemetery to visit my boys and then down to D.C. for Christmas/Hanukka with our granddaughter and grand-nephew.
Love you!
Bobbie & Dreamer & Trevor

Dear Bobbie,
Thank you so much for your wonderfully comforting and supportive Christmas note. It means so much to me. You've so eloquently articulated my same thoughts on what Christmas would be like in Heaven.
I just came here this morning to write a little note to Hermy when I saw your message and smiled. Thank you, Bobbie!
I want to thank you especially, Bobbie, for always being here and being so kind and compassionate. You and this wonderful forum have kept me going through this difficult time. I am forever grateful.
I will be picking up my parents from the airport later this morning (they're coming from Texas) and also meeting up with my sister, brother, and his girlfriend (who are all arriving by train from NYC). I know it's not their fault, but they are not pet people or animal lovers. So it is difficult (and near impossible) for them to understand and sympathize with my loss. They say I should "move on." Bah humbug! That's what I say to them.
I hope you have a wonderful time with family. I wish you, Trevor, and Dreamer a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.
Love,
Lisa, Harry, Albus, and Ron

Dear Lisa and Hermy, Harry, Albus and Ron,
I miss your posts and assume that you must be busy at your family's place. I hope things are going well, well as well as can be expected under the circumstances. And, again, I am deeply grateful to you for writing to Trevor every single day that I was in Minnesota. There is no way I could have done my writing. Part of the trip was very good (my dad having successful surgery and is recovering nicely AND he and I got to spend 3 whole days together, alone). However, at least half of the trip was a living hell - no celebration of the Special Day and enough mental illness to almost force me back here, early. But, since I would never do that to my dad or my one sister, I stayed and endured.
When I finally got back to Maryland, as you might be able to tell from a couple of my notes to Trevor, I was incredibly lonely for every one of my boys in a way I have never felt before. Things are starting to feel a bit better, but it's gonna take time.
Enough about me. How were the holidays? When are you planning to return? How are Harry, Albus and Ron? What did they get for Christmas? Dreamer got the PetSmart 2011 charity stuffed dog.
You and Hermy are in my daily thoughts and prayers and I look forward to hearing from you!
Love you!

Dear Bobbie,
Thank you so much for your message. I am so sorry I've been away for so long. How are you doing? How were the holidays with your husband and Dreamer? Did you get to visit Trevor and your boys on Christmas Day?
I'm sorry to hear about how difficult your trip was in Minnesota. I understand. Sometimes being with other people (especially when they don't or can't sympathize with what we're going through) can be very trying. Not only can it be full of aggravation but also a drain on your energy, particularly any positive energy you have. It's mentally and emotionally draining and exhausting, isn't it?
My parents stayed with me and left last evening. I had to return to work today. Besides spending time with my parents (which was wonderful), I also got to see my sister and brother. I was happy to see everyone, but inside I felt like being alone.
You're a wonderful daughter and sister to have stayed in Minnesota until your planned departure date. I'm sorry I wasn't able to post for such a long time, and I'm so sorry you were feeling lonely when you returned home. Isn't funny how you can be surrounded by family and friends and yet feel so lonely?
I will try to message you privately as well (I haven't figured out how to do that yet). I've been thinking of you and Trevor, and I've missed writing to your dear Trevor. I'll write him a note tonight.
Please know that you and Trevor are in my thoughts and prayers.
Warm hugs,
Hermy's Mommy Lisa

Welcome back, my friend!!!!!!! I missed you!!!!!!!
XOXOxo
Bobbie
Good Morning Lisa and Hermy! (and Harry, Albus and Ron)!
Upon the suggestion of some very smart people, I am going to try and write my posts in the morning. I must get some sleep at night and going to bed at 2 am doesn't leave much! Although, going to bed at 10 pm feels kind of wierd for now. That goes to show you what life as a Libra is all about,
Well, those holidays are behind us and we made it through. I hope you had a chance to get a little holiday "spirit". I left mine somewhere in the Minneapolis airport. But there is always next year. And I remember the year that us 3 girls whined so badly about taking down the Christmas tree that my mom left it up until March! It was a short-needled tree and by that time, was comepletely bare! But we had a nice box of tinder dry needles that could have burned out house down!! Never happened again. One year I left my Nativity Scene up until August then put it right back up in November. I don't remember why I took it down. It covers the entire top of my 1918 Lawson upright piano and has 12 dogs, a giraffe, a lion, 3 monkeys, a pig, two moose, A BUNNY, a mouse, two tiny reindeer, and not 3 Wise Men, but 4!!! lot of shephers, lambs, cows, donkeys. Of those 12 dogs, of course 5 are C. Spaniels: a mom, dad and 3 kids. My late mother had the ultimate Nativity Scene with over 100 characters, including a pink, walking camel. Yup. We loved that guy and had so much fun with him. I think daddy still has him.
This week concentrates on my daughter-in-law's Baby BOY shower on Sunday. It's not a big deal, since she already has a 4 year old girl, but I wanted the family to come together and get Kelley some boy things (like jammies, onesies, boy toys, etc. Pink on a boy only lasts through the first picture, right? Dreamer goes to the spa this afternoon. Actually, the spa comes to him and he does just fine until one tries to blow dry his feet. Then it is more than a skirmish and less than a war. Only on his feet. I don't know if I will get him clipped or shaved. Clipped is warmer, but shaved prevents the ticks and fleas from taking hold. I hate chemicals on a dog. So let me call my vet.
Enough about me...........................
I will be thinking of you all day, Lisa and Hermy. Holiday let down's can be extra tough on us. Of course, I don't have to go to work and deal with idiot other people. I just get them calling me on the phone all day! I really do hope that your day will be kind and gentle for you. Lisa, you mean the world to me and Trevor and Dreamer. Enjoy the warmth (>) of the sun, knowing that is Hermy shining her love on you!
Love you!
Bobbie

It covers the entire top of my 1918 Lawson upright piano and has 12 dogs, a giraffe, a lion, 3 monkeys, a pig, two moose, A BUNNY, a mouse, two tiny reindeer, and not 3 Wise Men, but 4!!! lot of shephers, lambs, cows, donkeys. Of those 12 dogs, of course 5 are C. Spaniels: a mom, dad and 3 kids. My late mother had the ultimate Nativity Scene with over 100 characters, including a pink, walking camel. Yup. We loved that guy and had so much fun with him. I think daddy still has him.
This week concentrates on my daughter-in-law's Baby BOY shower on Sunday. It's not a big deal, since she already has a 4 year old girl, but I wanted the family to come together and get Kelley some boy things (like jammies, onesies, boy toys, etc. Pink on a boy only lasts through the first picture, right? Dreamer goes to the spa this afternoon. Actually, the spa comes to him and he does just fine until one tries to blow dry his feet. Then it is more than a skirmish and less than a war. Only on his feet. I don't know if I will get him clipped or shaved. Clipped is warmer, but shaved prevents the ticks and fleas from taking hold. I hate chemicals on a dog. So let me call my vet.
Enough about me...........................
I will be thinking of you all day, Lisa and Hermy. Holiday let down's can be extra tough on us. Of course, I don't have to go to work and deal with idiot other people. I just get them calling me on the phone all day! I really do hope that your day will be kind and gentle for you. Lisa, you mean the world to me and Trevor and Dreamer. Enjoy the warmth (>) of the sun, knowing that is Hermy shining her love on you!
Love you!
Bobbie
Dear Bobbie,
I'm glad to hear that you are trying to get more sleep. I need to try that too. Being sleep deprived really feels like torture, doesn't it? I'm a night owl too, so going to bed early is not natural for me. Getting up early in the morning is even worse--like a root ca nal without anesthesia.
Thank you for sharing how your Nativity Scene looks and what animals are a part of it. Sounds wonderful! I'd like to think that our beloved animals are gathering together in Heaven like the animals on your piano.
I must remember to read about c. spaniels so that I can learn the difference between getting clipped and getting shaved. With my bunnies, I clip their nails and brush their fur, occasionally also rolling them with a lint roller. My bunnies have only been to one "Spa Day" event, where they were groomed (nails trimmed, fur brushed) and received a relaxing massage from a bunny masseuse. Isn't that funny? Hermy enjoyed it the most. She loved the attention and pampering.
Thank you for thinking of Hermy and me. I think of you and Trevor often. You are right about idiot people. Most of the people I encounter at work are very pleasant, but it only takes one bad apple, as they say, to ruin your day. Today I received a spontaneous warm, little hug from a young boy that brightened my day. Thank goodness for children and animals!
Have a wonderful evening and a good night's sleep, Bobbie.
Hugs,
Lisa

Dear Lisa!
Real quick: in my house there are the following definitions:
Clipped: means that you get kind of like a human hair cut, you still have some hair/fur on your body, which means the groomer has to come more often
Shaved: means one uses clippers (!) to shave your hair/fur off so that the length of your hair is about 1/4 inch or about that; groomer doesn't come as often, but you are colder in the winter and have to wear a stupid sweater
Think of a Poodle with the funny hair style: the smooth parts have been shaved and the ball-ish parts have been clipped. (However, Dreamer will have his hair clipped much shorter than that, but not shaved this time 'cause it's so cold.
Don't cha love my English lesson for the night??
Love,
Bobbie

Dear Bobbie,
Thank you for explaining the difference. Very helpful and clear. I went to the library today during my lunch break and checked out 4 books on c. spaniels.
I hope you had a wonderful day and have a restful night!

Lisa

Dearest Hermy,
Happy New Year, my baby bunny!!! I love you and miss you so very much!
As you know, my Hermy Mermy, I've been writing my daily love notes to you privately on the computer. I hope you're able to read them. It's been almost 7 weeks since you left us, and I miss you more than ever. We all miss you.
Harry is still very sad. He sends you his furry kisses. Albus remains grouchy and angry all the time. He sends you his warm hugs. Ron says he hopes you are well. I continue to live day by day in a fog. At work, I pretend that I'm okay. At home, I cry for you every night. My heart is still breaking. I wish to hold you and kiss you again.
I'm sending you all my love, hugs, kisses and more, my Hermy! I LOVE YOU!!!
Love forever and always,
Your Bunny Mommy Lisa

Dearest Hermy,
Oh, my little Hermy, I miss you and love you so much! It's been 7 weeks since you left us. 7 long weeks. All of us here miss you terribly.
I was crying today as I drove home from work. It seemed to come out of nowhere, but really I think I was overwhelmed by the thought of going home and NOT seeing your sweet face looking eagerly at me when I open the door. I miss you, Hermy, more than I can say.
I hope you are happy and healthy in Heaven, my sweet baby bunny. I wish I could hold you again. Harry, Albus, and Ron send their love and kisses. I'm sending you kisses and hugs too! I will always love you, Hermy. I will never stop missing you.
You are the most beautiful, spirited, loving little bunny in the world! We LOVE LOVE LOVE you, Hermy Mermy!!! Please know that we all are thinking of you and that we will be reunited one day.
All My Love Forever,
Hermy's Mommy Lisa, Harry, Albus, and Ron

Dear Hermy,
This is Aunt Bobbie writing. I know you get private notes from your Mommy, but I want everyone on this site to remember you, too!!!!!!
Would you believe that I forgot to write to Trevor this past weekend??? Isn't that terrible?? I was putting on a baby shower for my daugher-in-law and just completely ran out of any time. I know your mommy would never do that to you. I hope Trevor isn't upset with me.
So, what are the two of you up to? I know there are so many newbies to meet and greet every day and I am certain that you are the best team to do so. You both are so sweet, kind, understanding and loving that everyone must feel quite comfortable soon.
Hermy, did you know I have a little bunny in my Manger Scene? Yes, and she stans right behind the baby Jesus looking right into his manger to make sure He's OK. I haven't found any other bunnies, but hopefully this year I will. I would like to get some more dogs (C. spaniels), but I doubt I'll find any.
Well, I have to go clean my house now, so you guys have a GREAT DAY! Give my love to your Mommy. She is quite a wonderful person!
Love,
Aunt Bpobbie & Trevor

Dearest Hermy,
Isn't Aunt Bobbie the best? That was so wonderful of her to write to you and think of you. I'm sure you and Trevor are the best of friends! Please say hi to Trevor for me.
I'm sorry I haven't posted on your thread lately, Hermy. I continue to write to you daily on my computer, but sometimes I get so sad and my eyes are so leaky that I turn back into a complete basketcase. At that point I'm no good to anyone at all. I just grab the kleenex box, turn off the computer, sit on the sofa and cry my puffy eyes out. Then, if I'm lucky I fall asleep.
I miss you so much, Hermy. I'm miserable without you here. Life is not the same without you. Life will never be the same again. How can it be? The light and love of my life--you, my baby Hermy--have gone away. I love you, Hermy Mermy. I love you!
This Friday marks 8 weeks for us. Feels like yesterday. All of us here miss you and love you. We're sending you our hugs and kisses and love!
Forever Yours,
Your Bunny Mommy Lisa

Dear Lisa, I wish you peace and comfort as you continue your grief journey and sweet remebrances of your baby Hermy. Blessings, Jennifer
Dear Hermy Mermy and your wonderful Mommy.
Sorry I have not been around to check in with you guys, either. Other than dealing with an insane sister and getting ready to come back out to Minnesota where I am right now.
Lisa, your feelings and continuing grief episodes are completely normal. You are still very early in the grief journey. Good days will come when they are supposed to for you and you will begin to recognize them and be relieved they are coming. But, for me, even the relief is not yet enough to stop grieving Trevor's loss. THAT is going to take a long time, but I am up for that. So are you. You and Hermy had such a loving relationship for a bunny and her mommy. Give things time.....lots of time. There is no hurry. Remember eternity is forever and that's what we're in the middle of even as we speak.
Hermy, I think it may be time for another little sign for your mommy, OK?
As for me, I'm going to write to Trevor and then get to bed. Morning comes early around here.....ugh!
love YOU!
Trevor's Mommy

Dear Bobbie and Trevor,
Thank you so much for thinking of Hermy and me. Yesterday marked 9 weeks without my Hermy Mermy. It's been such a long 9 weeks and definitely an emotional roller coaster (as many on this forum have described it). Some days it feels like the roller coaster is going down, down, down, eventually swallowed up by a big black hole. I guess I can only try to hold on, one day at a time.
I hope you are staying warm in Minnesota and enjoying your time with your dad.
Hugs,
Lisa

Dearest Hermy,
Your mommy misses you SOOOOO much!!! This afternoon I had a flashback of you sitting with me on the sofa, 4 days before you died. You had hopped onto the sofa to sit with me and share one of your favorite snacks--red grapes! I held a big, juicy grape for you, as you daintily took little bites from it and watched TV with me. You were so happy!
As I was remembering this today, I dissolved into tears. Hermy, I'm so sorry! I wish I had done more to save you. I wish I had taken you to your doctor a month before you became ill. I wish I had known that those days were our last days together!
Oh, Hermy, I love you! I love, love, LOVE you! One day we'll be together again. I'll scoop you up in my arms and never let you go.
All My Love Forever and Always,
Your Bunny Mommy Lisa

Dearest Hermy,
I miss you and love you so much! It's been 11 weeks and 4 days without you, and it does not seem to be getting any easier. Life without you is just one miserable day after another. The pain is still very deep and the anguish still very intense.
I hope you and your dear friend Trevor are keeping each other company there in Heaven. I keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers and wish you and all your friends happiness, warmth, and comfort.
Still, all of us here miss you so very much. Harry, your hus-bun, is grumpier than ever. He is so sad and depressed without you. I know he misses cuddling next to you each night. He misses your kisses, Hermy. Albus, your brother, is still very angry. He thumps around the house, shreds newspaper and carpet alike, and throws his lettuce around. He misses you and does not understand why you have gone.
I'm still vacillating between numbness/denial and terrible agony. Some days I wake up thinking that I'll see you again, that you'll hop up onto my pillow and give me a furry kiss. Then there are other days when I cry myself to sleep, playing over and over in my mind your final moments and blaming myself for not being able to save you.
I miss you, Hermy. You are so special, truly one-of-a-kind. I thank you for sharing your life with me, for allowing me to be your bunny mommy and to care for you, for loving me unconditionally, and for letting me shower you with love. I wish I had done more for you. I wish I could have given you a "special day" before you died. I wish I had kissed you and held you once more. Oh, Hermy, to hold you again!
I love you, Hermy. I will always love you, my baby bun. Please know that one day we'll be together again!

I miss you, my baby Hermy. I love you so very much! Harry, Albus, Ron, and I wish you were here with us, but we know that you're here with us in spirit.
Last night, while looking at your photo and saying good night to you, I suddenly broke down and started sobbing. I still miss you every single day, Hermy. I wish I could hold you forever.
Please say hi to Trevor for me. All of us here are sending you and Trevor our hugs and kisses and are keeping you both in our prayers.

Hi Hermy's mom
Your tagline "I miss my baby bunny" just cracked my heart! So many people think "pets" are only cats and dogs, but furbabies are also bunnies - loveable, wonderful bunnies like Hermy Mermy.
My Gretta went home to the Promised Land last April and there is still not ONE DAY that I don't grieve for her. I know by now that she's not coming back to me on this earth - that's so sad. But I also know without a doubt that one day we'll meet again up above - and so will you and Hermy and Bobbie (who is my sister) and Trevor.
My new dog Rufus - a half black lab-half newfie is play-growling to go for an evening walk so I'll just leave you with a wish for peace and good rest.
Gretta's mom

Dear Lisa,
Reading your note to Hermy, I share in your deep grief and continuous sorrow for her loss. I so think about her and Trevor every single day and that was kind of hard while I was in Minnesota so long 'cause my dad's computer is really slow and old that sometimes I would forget what I was going to say by the time LS showed up!
My dear friend, you will miss Hermy every day for the rest of your life on earth. It's just that some days will be easier to bear than others. As more and more events also occur and we meet and fall in love with other bunnies, doggies, kitties, lizards, whatever, they take up space in our hearts, souls and minds as well. And the sorrow eases a bit. I still miss Crocker Spaniel every day and he's been in Heaven over 25 years! I still miss and cry for Nikki who was my childhood pal until he got put to sleep. I have a couple pictures of him, but nothing solid to hold onto or even bury.
Lisa, Hermy knows that you miss her and wish that the two of you (or is it five of you?) could be together again, healthy, right this minute. But she also knows that you both have new choices in your lives: you.....to love Albus and Ron and uh oh I forgot again! I'm sorry! I am going to write everyone's name on my whiteboard so I never forget! And to accept into your heart any little bunny that may come your way looking for a wonderful forever mom. Hermy has many choices: she sends you love and kisses every minute or every day; she pals around with Trevor every day; and she welcomes and takes care of all the newbies arriving in Heaven every day. And she has not once forgotten one of the non-remembered.
Your Hermy is a very special creature and you have every right to miss her completely. Thank YOU for being so open and honest about your love and sorrow for her. Write to you soon!
Love,
Bobbie

Dear Hermy and Lisa,
Once again it is a Friday night, an Angelversary that we really wish wouldn't come. But, Hermy, we love you so much that neither your mommy nor me will ever forget you. Trevor is getting coser to a one year anniversary and that is simply be impossible. Good thing I have your mom and you and your brothers and Dreamer and then Pepper to help.
Hermy, have a peace-filled evening with all your friends, including Trevor. May your mommy be assured of your constant love and devotion.
I love you both!
XOXOxo (soon to be xo)

Dear Bobbie and Trevor, Gretta's mom and Gretta, and my little Hermy Mermy,
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers and kind words of support and encouragement.
Gretta's mom and Trevor's mommy, as your one-year anniversaries approach, I am keeping you in my prayers and sending you my love. It's hard to believe that time marches on, even though the pain and sadness still feel so overwhelming.
Today marks 4 months since Hermy died, and I miss her as much as, if not more than, the day she died.
I would like to share a story with you (and the other LS members), if that's okay. I know it might sound like I've lost my marbles, but I thought I'd share this with everyone in the hopes that it may provide some comfort and peace of mind:
On Valentine's Day, I called my mother to say hi, and she surprised me with a very detailed account of the dream she had on Friday, February 10th. She dreamt that she was visiting my grandmother (her mother) at her house. She was going to take my grandmother out to lunch. My grandmother was returning from a walk around her neighborhood and met my mother on the porch. My grandmother opened the front door but tripped on one of the steps as she was entering. My mother grabbed her arm and caught her just in time. My mother then offered to get her a glass of water from the kitchen. As my mother filled a glass of water, she called out to my grandmother who was in the living room, but who should she see? "Flying across the living room carpet to the kitchen!" my mother said, was Hermy!!! And running with Hermy was a medium-sized, light-colored dog!!!
My mother was so startled to see Hermy in her dream that she woke up suddenly and could not go back to sleep. She waited a few days before telling me about her dream because she thought it would upset me. My grandmother passed away several years ago. I believe my mother saw my grandmother in Heaven with Hermy and Trevor! I believe the dog she spotted running with Hermy was Trevor!
Several days later, I called my mother again to see if her story would change. It was the same! She said the dream was very vivid, and she remembers the details very clearly. I asked her questions about the dream: Did Hermy look healthy and happy? Was she breathing comfortably? Did she look like herself? Did she act like herself? My mother said that Hermy did indeed look healthy and happy, that she ran (practically flew) over the carpet to the kitchen, and that she looked as curious and alert as she always had.
Although I was a bit sad that Hermy did not visit me in my dreams, to hear my mother's dream of Hermy and her dog friend (Trevor, I'm sure) has given me such peace of mind. I believe her spirit lives on! I miss her and love her so much!
Hermy, thank you for visiting Mom in her dream and for showing her that you are okay and not alone. I love you, my Hermy!!! I know that one day we'll be together again!
Love Always,
Hermy's Mommy Lisa

Dear Hermy's Mommy,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful story of your mom'd dream. That makes me feel very very happy that someone saw Trevor and he was with Hermy and doing so well. I don't mind that I wasn't the one having a dream of Trevor as long as someone good like your mom did. Oh, that just lifts my spirits and yet makes me want to cry with joy and sorrow. You know what I mean.
A four month anniversary is very difficult, indeed. You are so brave to continue on as you do, although I miss your posts here on LS. I do understand how private your messages are and I respect that. I hope you keep up with my silly notes. Right now I get so tired that I don't have much to say so I try to compress the feelings into the few words I can get out.
You are such a dear person, Lisa. I thank God for you and Hermy coming into my life. Have a wonderful day and tell your mom to keep having those dreams!

Hi Hermie's mom
How wonderful that your mother saw her mother, Hermie and Bobbie's Trevor so clearly in that dream. Sometimes when we most need it out wonderful animals send us both a message and a good friend to channel it through. Still another signal that they're all there - healthy, happy, among friends - and waiting for our arrivals. Make you want to live a life truly worthy of theirs.
Blessings today,
Gretta's mom

Dear Lisa, Hermy, Albus, Ron and Harry,
I think of each of you every single day and do apologize for not keeping in better communication with you. I am still tickled pink that your mom saw Trevor in her dream! How wonderful and reasuuring for me - as with you, too, Lisa!
I am slowly recovering from all the stressors in early 2012. I'm amazed at how long that takes when one is old. Guess I learn something new everyday.
Now Hermy & Trevor, it is another Friday bump in the road for your mommies, but we love you more than mere words can express and you know that love will never fade. So keep each other company tonight, OK?
Lisa, hang in there. I am with you and beside you all the way!
Love,
Bobbie

Dearest Hermy,
Today marks 5 months since you left us. I love you and miss you more than ever, my baby bun! Harry, Albus, and Ron miss you too! I think of you every day and pray for you each night, wishing you and your dear friend Trevor fun-filled days and peaceful nights.
Oh, Hermy, I miss you so much!!! My eyes are still "leaky," as Bobbie says. I try to fill my mind with wonderful memories of you, but sometimes those memories bring tears to my eyes.
Aren't Trevor's mom and Gretta's mom the best! They are so kind and supportive. Hermy, please say hi to Trevor and Gretta for me. I am so grateful to them and their mommies. It gives me such comfort and peace of mind, knowing that these two beautiful brave dog angels are your friends.
Hermy, I know that one day you and I will see each other again. We'll be reunited. We'll then be together forever. I'll scoop you up and hold you, kissing your furry nose and hugging you tight. One day, Hermy, I promise. Until that day, please take good care of yourself, okay? All of us here send you all our love, hugs, and kisses, dear Hermy!
I love you! I love you! I will always love you!!!
Love Always,
Your Bunny Mommy Lisa

Hi Hermie's mom
You and Hermie have taught me a life lesson - there's more to soul-mate animals that kittes and doggies. When (if!) I get to the perfect World and Gretta and I have snuggled to our hearts' content, I'm going to go find Hermie and tell him what a great bunnie he is and play with him and snuggle with him. Is it because they're so soft that they wiggle their way into our hearts? That's part of it - but not all. Each and every aminal has a beautiful soul - even the ones who, because of their horrid humans- turn dangerous. It's SO against their nature. We'll all be together one day and all animals and peole will understand each others' words. What a great celebration THAT will be!
Thank you for all your kind and caring thoughts.
XOXO

Dearest Hermy,
Happy Birthday, my Hermy Mermy! Today is your birthday. You would be 4 years old today. I miss you and love you so much, my bun-bun! Your brother Albus turned 4 today too. He misses you terribly. Your hus-bun Harry still grieves deeply for you. We all miss you and are miserable without you.
I'm sending you all my love, infinite hugs and kisses, and a big yummy cupcake--all for you, my love-bun. It's been 25 long weeks without you, Hermy, and each and every day I think about you and hope that you are happy and healthy and having fun in Heaven.
I love you, Hermy! Always and forever! We love you!!! I promise we'll be together again one day!
Love Always,
Your Bunny Mommy Lisa, your brother Albus, and your hus-bun Harry

Happy birthday Hermie-in-Heaven and Albus here on earth!!
Do you know how special your mom is? (What a dumb question - of course you do. Sorry. People can be SO dumb sometimes.)
Your mommy taught me a huge life lesson: our fur-babies include more than kitties and doggies. They're bunnies, too. Bunnies ... that's a gentle, fun word.
Hope you had a GIANT party on your b-day. Everyone in the Perfect World and lots of your mom's lightning strike brothers and sisters love you and wish you an eternity of birthdays. If a buff-colored C-spaniel comes by, it'll be Bobbie's Trevor, coming to say happy birthday and telling you how much your mom means to her - and me.
Rest well after you exciting day, hermie. And mom, you rest well, too, after a day of emotional roller coastering. We love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HERMY!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I know when you birthday is, too! I can write it in my calendar book that substitutes as my brain! Oh, how I know your mommy and your hus-bun and your brother, Albus wish you were here with them to have a really wonderful celebration all together. And Albus is 4 years old today, too! Happy Birthday, Albus! (and before I forget, I will teach my sister how to spell Hermy's name correctly)
Lisa, I have been so lax in keeping in touch with you and for that I am truly so very sorry. You have been one of the most ardent supporters and lover of Trevor, whom you never even met. And I feel exactly the same way about Hermy. His name comes to mind right after Trevor's whenever a memory pops in my mind. I think, "Trevor AND Hermy!" Two peas in a pod and the perfect pair to teach so many lessons. I hope life hase been a little easier for you. As you can tell from my complaining, etc. I've had a really rough go of it lately. Severe depression and at least one side of our family defining dysfunctional perfectly. I've gotten caught up in too many things I do not want to do and it finally got to me. I've had many people, including doctors, counselors, priests and MY family telling me to stop this and start over doing what pleases me because I am truly a nice personwho automatically thinks of the other person first. I'm not bragging because I hate to bring attention to myself, but that's what they said.
So, this coming Monday starts at least 3 weeks of "Bobbie Time". If I want to write tomes on LS to you and the other wonderful folks who have helped me, I'm going to! If I want to send e-mails, I'm going to! I'm also starting private obedience lessons with Kelley - ME being the teacher. I've done it often enough and Kelley is getting away with too much. Time for change. It seems strange to know that you have most of every single day for yourself. Wierd.
Now back to Hermy and Albus and Ron and Harry and YOU! Every time I think of Hermy I see peace, gentleness, love, acceptance, understanding and fun. Am I close? I think so. And do you know your mom is still the only one who has seen Trevor in a dream? I will treasure that forever. Hermy is one that will always be remembered for her love and just being Hermy! When you can, would you mind sending me more pictures of her? I can print them out and put them with Trevor's. What a wonderful and amazing friendship developed because of death!!!!! God really does know what He's doing some times. Im going to go down stairs and light a birthday candle and sing Happy Birthday to Hermy, thank you for all she gave to you (what do you give a bunny that is in Heaven?) and blow it out and keep it special. I don't know when Trevor's birthday was so we picked the day he came to us: May 23rd.
God bless you, Lisa, for your love and devotion to Hermy and all your bunnies. You're the best!
Love and kisses (do bunnies like kisses on their noses?)

Hello Hermy's Mommy!
Oh, I still think of you and your precious Hermy every single day, even though I may not mention her by name, I will never forget her OR you!
Wanted to let you know there is a new member on this site named Marska and she could really use you right now. Her bunny died a month ago and she is bereft. You have benn-there-done-that and I know you could help her a lot, so I guess I'm making a referral!! How about that? I will not give Marska your name and site because I just don't do that sort of stuff. But, if you'd like, check for her.
BTW - how are you and the boys doing? I miss hearing from you, but I must apologize for not writing either. Today is yet another Friday and Hermy is especially in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks, Lisa! You're a gem!
Love,
Bobbie & Trevor
