When we first welcomed you into our life, you were quite the feisty bunny, always cautious and hesitant to trust us. You didn’t even hesitate to give us a nip or two.

But within just two weeks, you underwent such a dramatic change, becoming the sweetest bunny ever. We were both shocked to see how much you transformed in such a short time. From then on, you seemed to glow with pride. When we moved into our first home together, we promised you the run of the place. We were thrilled to see how much you loved it, and the joy you brought us was priceless. Of course, every joy has its price, and our furniture and walls bore the marks of your little teeth. But we couldn’t bring ourselves to scold you. I miss you, buddy.

Our favourite nightly ritual was when you would come over for a head pet before settling down to sleep. It became a cherished routine for all of us, a daily affirmation of our love for one another.
Thank you for showing us how to love you even more deeply.

Isn’t it remarkable how each different animal can demonstrate such compassion? It’s truly beautiful.

However, circumstances took an unexpected turn.
While we were abroad, we entrusted your care to the boarding facility, believing they would look after you well. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. On your final day, we had to urgently request the boarder to rush you to the clinic while we were helplessly stuck in another country. The vet informed us that you had ingested fur and your condition was critical. Three hours later, you had passed away.

Even now, my dear Matsu, we can’t apologise enough for not being there for you. Your passing has left a gaping hole in our hearts, and we are overwhelmed with guilt. We wish we could have done more for you. We’re truly sorry. 

I hope you will keep hopping joyfully on the other side. Be surrounded by happiness and make plenty of friends. I look forward to the day we can be together again. I miss you dearly.
