Funeral for a Friend

I am in mourning today. Actually, I have been in mourning for the past week. Someone very close to me died. I can't say it was sudden- there was a slow, gradual decline in behavior. In the days leading up to his death, there was a definite weakening.

He brought me much pleasure. More than most people in the world, and definitely more consistently. He was there whenever I needed him- morning or night, weekday or weekend. He calmed me down with the constant hum in his voice. I had known him for years. 4 to be exact. His presence in my life was a present.

Literally.

Friends, I am sad to say, that my rabbit has died.

Yes, that one.
