Dearest Bunnisis -
It's now 365 nights that you have not slept under my roof. A separation that feels just as unnatural today as it did a year ago. While you have been shuttled from holding cells and rooms and units, we closed up the house on Grackle, lived in an apartment and got a new house. All while feeling the very distinct Bunny-sized hole of you being gone.
But home is not brick and mortar. It is not a room or an address on a mailbox. Home is belonging - and you belong to us. 18 months ago I fracture that sense of belonging - I left you and dad and AJ to start my new job. Despite my best intentions, that decision left a wake of pain that can never be undone - consequences far more terrible than I could have ever imagined.
But belonging does not change. Not with distance. Not with time. Not with mistakes. Not with pain. Belonging is a constant - and you belong with me.
Every night for 365 nights I have prayed that God would wrap you in His love and that no matter where you were you would understand that where you are is temporary - but belonging is forever.
Soon you will be here. And all that was broken can begin to heal. What was lost can be found. What was old can be made new. But your belonging will never change. It never has and it never will.
I love you so much. And I can't wait to have you here.
Your BFFMommisis
