being loved...now I am real!

What one of us doesn't want to be loved? Who among us doesn't want to be worn away with love? Who wouldn't want the knowledge that we've made a difference and that there is some legacy left behind? What a blessing I have been given!

"Annalynn had received a very nice stuffed brown bunny for easter that we have been referring to as the 'chocolate bunny'. Tonight I was awarded with the important task of holding bunny while she got herself a before bed drink. As I held the bunny, and curled on the couch with it in my blanket, I began to think about my own stuffed bunny my grandmother had made for me when I was just a little bigger than Annalynn. I had named it Mallory,after a character on the 80's sitcom Family Ties. I shared this with Annalynn. She, understandably, immediately connected this to our wonderful office assistant, and close friend, at PreSchool named Mallory. She got very excited and exclaimed, "now I can pick a name for chocolate bunny!" I asked what was that and she declared, "Cathy the Chocolate Bunny!" , after our former director at PreSchool. It all just fell together for her like pieces of a puzzle. I think it is so cute how she extended the legacy of my beloved bunny and associated it with her life, now we have a new connection- by way of stuffed bunny. So , upstairs we went. I tucked in Annalynn and her newly renamed Cathy The Chocolate Bunny."
I am Cathy, the Chocolate Bunny! Loved and remembered. Praise God for such a precious gift as this. It is this email and this post that will indeed be worn out.

A loving reminder that I am REAL!
