Ten years is a long time when you look forward, but 10 years is so short when you look backwards.
Today is a little sad. Ten years ago we drove to Heston Services on the M1 to collect Nelly. It was a clear, frosty morning, the roads were free-flowing, and time dragged on; the journey seemingly took forever.
It wasn't hard to find Nelly... it's not difficult to see someone sitting in the driver's seat, cradling a bunny in their arms.
And so, on the 23rd December 2001, Nelly came to live with us, and became a much loved member of the family. Christmas won't be quite the same without her. There will be no bunny helping to open the presents, though I'm sure Dijon and Mabel will give it a try (especially Dijon).
The children are a little sad, too. We've found a letter to father Christmas asking him to bring Nelly back, and there have been arguments as to who will have which bunny when she does come back. Let's home the presents he does bring will detract for long enough for the children not to remember that Nelly isn't here.
