It was bound to happen. Mom's nick name was 'Bunny'.
It started innocently enough. There was that very first bunny with the
cotton coming out of it's, well, bottom...and we used it, I remember.
Then it started. They began to multiply, as bunnies do. Before anyone
knew it there were bunnies everywhere. Mom had to send out an executive
order, 'NO MORE BUNNIES!!'
The
very first bunny, (photo) Mom gave to me because she said it reminded
her of 'us'. She cried. I cried. The pics of the bunnies are of just a few, which I treasure. I am always looking at 'bunny anything'. You would be surprised @ all the merchandise out there w/ Mom's name on it. I have,
so far, refrained from starting the reproduction cycle all over again...whew!! When she died, we distributed some of
the bunnies to relatives and close friends. Everyone loved receiving
them, as they knew that they were getting a treasured piece of her, and each person
expressed how precious, it meant so much. From Steuben glass, to
inexpensive glass, to wood and metal (one is a coin bank which Edward
has), to porcelain, to Limoges, made in Italy, and back to France, to Rosenthal, ceramic and
soapstone, and on and on and on! So, on this 2nd Mother's Day without her, I honor and treasure her
memory...'Bunny's....Many Bunny's!!'
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !!!
