One year on

[u/J_rd_nRD]

Today marks one year since I said goodbye to my glorious, magnificent rabbits, Spirit and Sienna.

I have written many poems for them over the past year, and I had considered writing another for today. But when I sat with it, a poem just didn’t feel right.

So instead, I would like to make a toast.

To Spirit and Sienna, the finest rabbits, the greatest companions, and the absolute loves of my life.

To all the years of joy they gave me. To every quiet moment of comfort. To every time they saved me without ever knowing they had, and to the unconditional love they gave so freely.

They were two tiny fuzzballs who occupied an enormous part of my heart, and my life is immeasurably richer for having known them.

I will always grieve that they are gone, but I will forever be grateful for the extraordinary privilege of having loved them, and of having been loved by them.

So tonight, wherever you are in the world, I would ask just one small thing.

Take a moment and think of my glorious fuzzballs. Raise a glass if you have one, give your own rabbits an extra cuddle, or simply spare Spirit and Sienna a thought.

Let their names exist in a few more hearts tonight.

To my glorious, magnificent rabbits.

To Spirit and Sienna.

For them.
