One of my children had 2 pet bunnies and she loves them well, she really does. She had BunBun first then adopted a 2nd bunny companion for BunBun. She named her Mrs. Honeybun. My daughter has a tender/compassionate heart and adopted an abused/pretty blind rabbit that inflicted that abuse upon her by her prior owners. My daughter loved and nurtured her to the point where she felt comfortable and loved with no more fear of abuse in her life. Well, Mrs. Honeybun went to heaven yesterday due to medical complications. I can testify how not only she, but my son loves and have compassion for their pets. They try to call me grandma to their pets, and I draw a line in that. A grandmother is to children not pets is how I see it. Even though, I still get treats and things like that for both of their pets. I pray for them also when they need prayer too. The bunnies loved sour flavored golden raisins I would send as a special treat for them. Cat toys for the other child's pet I send to them. I also do find gifts with a bunny or cat theme like dish towels, etc. for them.
This is kind of funny. For some reason when my daughter would take the bunnies to visit my former mother-in-law, they would call her the bunny whisperer. The bunnies would hop on over to Grandma sitting on the couch and sit/lay by her like if they were a cat or dog that sits/lays by someone. She just had this way with them, and they really would sit by her and from what I understand that is not regularly known behavior of bunnies, but they did for Grandma. So, I am sure by now Mrs. Honeybun already found Grandma in heaven and is visiting with her. The pain of losing a loved one is real; it truly is even though you know they are in heaven.
The other day I was at a store in which I used to purchase Amish books for my mom to read and she loved reading them. I have to think to myself how when I walk by, I no longer buy those books, except ... When finished with her books and Reminisce magazines I would pass them onto my friend's mother to read. Well, I bought an Amish book along with a word search puzzle type of book to also bless my friend's mom with. I was sharing that with my friend and how I miss things like that with my mom no longer here on earth and she replied to me that her mom could also be my mom too. Now, that is a true friend isn't that. Only regret we both have is how we wanted each of our mothers to meet each other but that never happened. When my mom would be here for a visit her mom wasn't so they never met this side of heaven, but I am most assured they will meet one day in heaven and then we will all be gathered together in heaven when Jesus comes to claim His people. Be watchful and prepared so as to not miss the trump sounding and the eastern sky to part for Jesus to come and get His people. The dead in Christ will rise first and true believers in Jesus will join up to meet them. How glorious that will be how glorious that will be. Do not sleep or slumber but be forever watchful for we know not the day and time this will take place. The signs are pointing all around us that it just may be sooner than one thinks. Stay prepared and look with anticipation for the return of Jesus.
