Just a rabbit…

From time to time, people tell me, “Lighten up, it’s just a rabbit,”

or, “That’s a lot of money for just a rabbit.”

They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the

costs involved for “just a rabbit.”

Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a rabbit.”

Many hours have passed when my only company was “just a rabbit,” but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a rabbit,”

and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a rabbit”

gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it’s “just a rabbit,” then you will probably

understand phases like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.”

“Just a rabbit”, brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.

“Just a rabbit”, brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of “just a rabbit”, I will rise early, and look longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a rabbit” but an

embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future; the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

“Just a rabbit” brings out what’s good in me, and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a rabbit,”

but the thing that keeps me from being “just a human.”

So the next time you hear the phrase “just a rabbit.” just smile,

because they…

….”just don’t understand.”

Grilly Tucker

August 9, 2013

Died 10/14/24

Grilly joins his wife Avery and best friend Winter leaving behind his daughter Onyx. He was a mini rex, being the tiniest of all the buns I have had, but he had a big personality. Known as the “Dude with Tude” Grill’s favorite pastime was to snooze. Towards the end, he became a special needs bun. He was extremely arthritic, lost use of his hind end and was in a lot of pain. He persevered until the ripe old age of 11 years 2 months and 5 days. He is sorely missed.
