Caspian 25.11.07...One year on.

by **Happy Hoppers** Tue Nov 25, 2008 9:18 am

I'm sure all of you will remember my Bridge Bun Caspian who is also the mascot of Happy Hoppers Forums. Today is one year to the day that I had to make the dreaded decision that his suffering couldn't go on any longer, it's a decision I regret everyday, not because of what we did but the way it was done. I am not sure I will ever be completely at peace with it.

Caspian was my heart bunny, one in a million, the likes of whom will never be seen again. I had him for such a short time but he made an incredible impact....only a special soul can touch you in the way he did me so quickly.

I hope your still enjoying yourself at RB little man, they are truely honoured to have you. I still miss you every day.

Upon this day I reminisce
With sadness and regret
The loss of my beloved
Special "child" who was my pet.

It's been a year of longing
Wishing you'd return to me ...
For though you left one year ago,
I cannot "set you free".

Though time has made it easier,
To go from day to day ...
No one can understand the
"Special" role your life did play.

For every day you were a part,
Of love and joy and life ...
You had a way that focussed me
And lessened daily strife.

I'd hurry home to see your face,
Behind that window pane;
Where wiggles, hugs and cuddles
Brightened up the worst of days.

And now I sit, with eyes tear filled,
You are not by my side;
And when I see the window,
It is bare and bleak inside.

Emotions, they are raw today,
I'm simply torn apart ...
For hollow, wrenching feelings
Tear apart my very heart.

An emptiness, that's deeper than
The oceans fills my soul;
A painful hunger bites my
Inner self beyond control.

For though time healed the daily wounds
I wore upon my sleeve,
I shelter from the world outside
Just what you meant to me.

To me, you were more human
Than some others I have known ...
You gave such love and tenderness;
T'was deep within your soul.

Now spring is here, and little things
We loved now cause me harm ...
Snuggling on the sofa
No longer holds its charm.

I see you as I turn each step,
I watch for you each day
Oh little one, I miss you so,
So much more than words can say.
