Ambassador Bun is on her way once again

she's been all "around the block" a few times.

Canada, England,

Wales, Australia,

Arizona, Alaska,

Houston, and now she's headed to....

Elmendorf, Texas. after that, she heads to Maine.

the Traveling Ambassador of Grief and Whimsy has visited

some very wonderful people.

she has listened to them,

gone to work with them,

slept beside them,

but mostly

she has

listened to them.

and in the end,

that's all we really want;

for someone to come where we are sitting quietly,

grieving,

and listen to us.

after Maine, she may head back to Texas for Thanksgiving and Christmas,

or to South Carolina and then Texas.

after Christmas though,

the Ambassador moves on to

California, then Chicago, and then St. Paul.

and finally, she will be returned to me.

i miss her. silly i know with all the bunnies i have here,

but she IS the Ambassador of Grief and Whimsy.

she's my girl, my bun, my creation.

i dreamed her up over the sad, lonely Christmas of 2010.

her tour has taken on a life of its own.

i am proud of her and what she does.

i am always a little caught off guard that

everyone responds to her as they do.

she's just a stuffed bunny,

but it's her face.

her lovely, gentle eyes and her soft Bunny face,

i think,

that captures everyone's heart.

if you have already had a visit from her, i hope it was as wonderful as your photos look.

if you have not, she is coming. i promise. i am manipulating her itinerary so that

she comes to you as you wish as best as i can.

i hope she is worth the wait.

she is such a snuggly Bun,

such a good listener,

and her journal is ready for you to write in.

her little patchwork bag has a small gifty in it for you.

everyone gets one.

the widow in South Carolina already has

more to put in her bag to make sure you all get one.

the Ambassador Bun is on the move again.

she will get to you. she promises.

peace to all who read.

peace and light to all who grieve.
