To My Dearest Hermione,

Oh, my sweet beautiful little Hermy! It’s been exactly one year since you left us for Heaven. How I still miss you so!

You are in my thoughts and prayers every single day, my love-bun. Harry, your hus-bun, and Albus, your brother, miss you and love you so much. Harry still hops over to the photos of you and kisses you in the pictures. Albus likes to stand up and look at the photos of you on the coffee table.

We all miss you, Hermy. I miss your hugs and kisses. I miss your sitting on my pillow next to my head at night, licking my nose and forehead. I miss seeing you when I come home. I miss your binkies and your squeaky “exclamations” of joy. I miss your adventurous (and mischievous) spirit. I miss everything about you, Hermy. Most of all, I miss YOU!

You are the most charming, spirited, loving, playful, endearing bunny! I wish I could hold you in my arms again and kiss your furry little face. Please know, Hermy, that I love you always and forever.

I hope that one day I will see you again and that we can all be together. I’m sending you all my love and hugs and kisses, my sweet Hermy.

I love you! I love you! I love you!

Love Always,
Your Bunny Mommy Lisa

P.S. Special thanks to Bobbie (and Trevor), Greta’s Mom, Cheryl (and Daisy), Bonnie’s Mom, moon_beam, and other fellow Lightning-Strike members for your support and encouragement, without which I would not have made it this far. My sincerest thanks to you all!

I am so sorry for your loss. I just lost my Lucymae on 10/10/2012. I don't think I will ever forget that date. It was around 2pm when she went to sleep. I can see we will still miss them even a year later.

I can tell Hermy was very very loved and cherised. I am thinking of you and Hermy on this day of rememberance.

Hugs and God Bless to you,

Lynn

I just saw a picture of your Hermy. How absolutly adorable. God Bless,

Lynn

Hi, Lisa, thank you so much for sharing with us how you and your precious companions are doing, and for sharing your and your beloved Hermy's one year angel-versary with us. Even though the calendar acknowledges an angel-versary does not mean that the sorrow and emptiness in our heart automatically disappears. It simply means that we have endured our grief adjustment journey and hopefully the deep sorrow of our grief is easing so that we can remember our beloved companions with a happier heart - - which is what your beloved Hermy wants for you.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful picture of your beloved Hermy and companion with us, Lisa. I hope today is treating you and your precious Harry and Albus kindly, and that you will have a very peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Hermy's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you and your precious companions are in my thoughts and prayers, Lisa, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

your baby is beautiful. So sorry for the loss and sending you hugs!

Hi Lynn, moon_beam, and missingmygranny,

Thank you all so much for your kind words. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your beloved companions, especially as we approach the holiday season without our furry loved ones. Hermy loved to take little bites of pumpkin pie when I wasn't looking. I like to think that she has her own little pumpkin pie now in Heaven.

Wishing you all a peaceful and restful night,
Hermy's Mommy

Dear Hermy's mom,

Oh my gosh - it has been one year since your darling Hermy parted this Earth for Heaven! Seems like only yesterday. And I have really dropped the ball lately myself. For that I am deeply sorry and will not let that happen any more.

Hermy is such a precious bundle of wiggly noses and unending love for you! I think of her so often, especially when I need to feel that a group of Spirit animals (Hermy, Gretta, Mickey, Trevor) are together, not only enjoying the rewards they so richly deserve, but also collectively watching out for all of their mommies. I need to make pictures of everyone so they can all fit in Trevor's blanket right next to my heart at night.

And, don't forget what a GOOD and LOVING mommy you have always been! That never goes away and Hermy shares it with all her new friends.

I've been asking for some extra support from our Angels as I recently found out that I have Stage IV colon cancer. In a funny way, knowing that "our" animals care so much makes me feel safer. And Hermy has really helped, too!

Have a peace-filled anniversary week and know that so many of us LOVE you and Hermy to pieces!

I LOVE YOU, HERMY!

Dear Hermie's mom

Doesn't the time go by quickly - but how could that be when every second seems like an eternity? Hermie taught me that the "pet" world included far more than kitties and doggies. Holding a bunny in your arms has to be the sweetest experience there is. Bunnies are shaped just like our "arm-space.

Some of us "oldies" have migrated to the "rememberances" thread (that's not the exact name but it's the one right under "Death and Dying". And Bobbie has told you about the meteor that has descended on her.

She's right - our spirit animals have brought us together and will keep us strong.

Hi Hermie - are you having fun with all your friends in the Perfect World?

Gretta's mom

Hello Hermie's mom

How are you doing? I lost my Rufus just two months ago and I was half a continent away taking care of a critically ill relative and couldn't even be with him. My heart is breaking. Monday (tomorrow) is rufus's birthday and there is going to be a party in the Perfect World for him. I'd like to give Hermie and all his brothers an sisters and cousins and friends special invitations becasue they and you are dear to me.

Hi Hermie

How's it going up there in the Perfect World? Isn't it great. We donw here only hear about it and want to get there to be together with our loved ones - humans and fur-babies. Hermie, there's going to be a party for Gretta's sister, Rufus. He's a big black dog who looks like a lab but with curlier hair. He got sick all of a sudden and had to go up there with you. Will you tell him that I would have been there if I could? He knows that but just whisper in hsi ear, OK? Tomorrow is his birthday and there's going to be a big party up there. Of course you are one og the guests of honor. Could you round up all your brothers and sisters and cousins and friends and mosey on over for the fun. In the Perfect World, animal cake and ice cream never run out and never make anybody sick. Thank you so much, hermie-bun. You taught me an important lesson - that bunnies are people too, just like the ones we always think of - kitties and doggies. Thanks so much Hermie. I love you.

Greta and Rufus's mom
