"Come visit me Mommy, come take me to lunch and give me hugs"...In an instant, I was taken back to a book I had read her long, long ago called the Runaway Bunny. The book begins with the young bunny who decides to run away: "If you run away' said his mother, 'I will run after you, for you are my little bunny". Time and time again the bunny tests his mother with scenario's that would make her become the wind to blow him back or a tree for him to rest near, but the underlying message is how much love a Mommy has for her babies.

This is my runaway bunny and today I ran to her as fast as I could get there...(two hours driving there and two hours driving home), but no worries because I couldn't wait to hold her, smell her hair and touch her skin (which is the softest skin on the face of the earth). She was full of life and ready with ample stories to fill up my "need to know" requirements when we meet. And as usual, she was smiling, laughing and sensitive to how blessed we are to have the bond we do.

We ate lunch, shopped for college needs and cleaned up the messiest dorm room ever and then we headed over to her new sorority house she will live in next year. Another new place for my bunny to live. Another new place I will drop everything and come to if she asks. Alexa Brianne is the bunny I begged God for, the baby that I didn't think we could have and the daughter that completes me. I love my LexiLoo, my baby girl and "I will run after her, where ever she is, because she is my little bunny".
