i actually had posted this on x365, but i redid that post to bring it into line with the “41 words” and i’m posting this here, just cuz it makes me LOL ;P

i’ve had old bunny since i was a baby (and as far back as i can remember, i’ve called him “old bunny”). back then, he was a she with a beautiful apron. somewhere along the way, the apron was lost and old bunny became a he. everywhere i went, so went he. at some point in my childhood, his fabric had finally worn so thin that mom was unable to mend any holes on him, so she put a bandaid on his “boo boo”. of course, that didn’t stop me from continuing to drag old bunny around! oh no! there was always more bandaids, if needed!

i can *remember* sitting in bed at night when i was maybe 4 or 5, lining up alllllll my stuffed animals, and old bunny and i would “teach school”. or sing. loudly. and very likely, off key :o (old bunny could *never* carry a tune!!!) god help my poor parents :O

when i had finally moved away from home, mom packed him away. recently, she brought him to me in a little shoe box, because she didn’t want to dispose of him herself, she thought i should do that.
...

so.
...

old bunny now has an honored spot in my closet and will until even the bandaids rot away. (‘sif i could *dispose* of him )

i give you…

a bunny only it’s girl could love :O

old bunny

once old bunny’s fabric was too thin to sew his holes up, mom started putting a bandaid on them. well. as you can see… he’s now more bandaid than bunny :o

God Bless “Old Bunny” for every crisis he solved! He was delivered to us by the real Easter Bunny when you were about 16 months old and went everywhere with us after that - family vacations, malls, hospitals - everywhere. He looks beautiful in this photo - a raggedy, bruised, and wounded little fellow that did more for peace and family than any world leader! May “Old Bunny” rest in peace!
