our rabbit died today.
i cried about it, but i have realized that i am in denial of it.
it wasn't more of the actual rabbit, but of what he stood for.
and my mother... he was her baby.
he was paralyzed and couldn't walk.
there is so much more to this story and maybe someday i'll tell it.. but not now.

so fred, (formerly known as ginger before we found out you were a boy..)
thank you for teaching me about patience, strength, and love.
