On April 5, 2004, I walked into a pet store and met the love of my family's life. A little dwarf Dutch rabbit got stuck to my jacket so I brought him home. I named him Tiny because he was so small. But, that name wasn't really accurate. Tiny had a big personality. He was very smart and feisty. I thought I would put a bell in his cage to train him to communicate when he needed something. But, when he realized that we would come running every time he rang the bell, he started training us. I had to sing London Bridge is falling down, dance with him in my arms under the fan and sleep on the floor outside his cage to bond with him. He made me work for his love. But, that's why, in the end, his love was so precious to me. He was my son. I stayed up all night praying for him when he was sick. I lived for his little kisses on my hand, cheek and feet. He didn't make a sound but he spoke in volumes. No matter how I was feeling, when I looked at his sweet face he made me smile. I never realized how much he taught me about unconditional love, kindness and patience. I depended on him being there when I had a bad day. He had a way of sensing my emotions and helping me put them away. When I held him, every care just melted away. Now 10 years later, Liver Disease snuck in and took my baby from me. I didn't realize he was sick, one day he fell and couldn't get up. The vet said he only had a couple of weeks to 6 months to live. But, I prayed to God that if it was not his will to heal Tiny then, please take him. Please God have mercy on him and on me and my family. God answered my prayers and Tiny went to heaven on May 29, 2014 at 7:22 am. His life lifted away while he was in my arms. I will always love him. I still go to his room looking to see if he is there. (Yes, he had his own room....and still does??). Rest in peace my little baby Tiny! You are gone but you will never be forgotten. Thank you for all the love you gave our family. I used to sign every card I sent out: Love, Kisha, Mac, Jamac and Tiny…… I think I am going to keep doing that.
