"Dear Bunger"

June 18, 2010

You make me laugh; you make me cry, sometimes both in the same day. Today was one of those days.
We got in the car and headed out, this was our conversation:
Hunter: “Nana, why did Jesus put all of these trees here?”
Nana: “Well, trees make oxygen and people breathe oxygen so we need lots of trees”
Hunter: “Bunger couldn’t breathe”
Nana: “No, she got really sick and she couldn’t breathe”
Hunter: “Yea…I wish she would come back, I want her to come back because I miss her”
Nana (with tears rolling): “I want her to come back too”
Hunter: “Do you miss her too, Nana?”
Nana: “Yes, I miss her very much”
Hunter: “Dear Bunger, I wish you would come back and breathe good, I love you very much. Nana, will you make a wish with me for Bunger to come back down here?”
Nana: “Yes, Baby”

One of the most important things that we have is our relationships with our family and close friends. I don’t have to tell you that, you already know it. I am so grateful for the relationship that you had with Bunger and humbled by your determination to never forget her.
Hunter, you are incredible, you are three and a half and you definitely know what love is. As you snuggle up to me, I am forever grateful for my relationship with you. Sweet Dreams my Angel.

“Dear Bunger, we all wish you could come back and that you could breathe really well. We all love you and miss you very much!”
