I have loved bunnies all my life. Because infertility was so much part of our early story I cycled back to having a bunny in Sydney and he has ended up on a 2 meter art piece, when he came a photo shoot. He died (also a neglectful pet sitter!) and my girls don't remember him, but his piece in our family is always there in the art. I love the stillness and care that bunnies bring.
This is just gorgeous. I am always awestruck by the baby bunnies that end up in our yard every year. My kids have begged for pet bunnies, but I just haven't given in yet. I love how you have incorporated them into your life.
Thank you Crystal! It was a challenge to write about tricky things in a palatable way and I'm grateful to hear you enjoyed the essay. Listen girlfriend, if you ever decide to go for it and get a bunny, let me know! I'll be your bunny mom friend <3
I loved reading about your daughter’s connection with the bunnies - what a gift! I think God brought that first one into your path to stir something in her heart. ❤️ I also didn’t know bunnies grieve. How heartbreaking and sweet.
I’ve always said our family would never have a pet other than a dog (I like cats, just a bit allergic 🫠) but my goodness, I could only hope a bunny would hop right into our lives and soften up my wild ones! Thank you for this beautiful essay, it hit me right in the feels!
Brittany, I'm so grateful for these words!! Thank you for taking time to sit in this story with me. And just to be clear- the bunny lives outside which I highly recommend!
